Orange Tree Samples files for status as a fruit salad with the release of their CoreGuitar: Strawberry library. Though cantaloupe would really make for a hell of a fruit salad, CoreGuitar: Strawberry makes for a much better sample library. It's like the Darryl Strawberry of 1986 just jumped ahead twenty years in time without two decades of run-ins with the law.

CoreGuitar: Strawberry seeks tonal versatility and a range of articulations. It was also designed to be easy to use and easy to adjust. Though common goals among sample libraries, CoreGuitar: Strawberry has a few things that make it unique.

For one, Orange Tree Samples claims that never-before sampled nuances have been captured. Orange Tree says that the details are subtle, but they also add a sense of heightened realism to the library. Distortion greatly magnifies these subtle nuances, some, if not all, of which are so subtle they're classified. The nuances they will divulge are listed below.
