I think it's probably an instrument we hear really often, and we hear the wide range of expressiveness. You can vary the attack a lot, apply differing degrees of muting, bend strings, vary the tone color by playing the same pitch on different strings, play various kinds of harmonics, and that's not even considering whether the guitar has a whammy bar/tremolo. You could fake all that, but you'd have to have a detailed sample library and enough familiarity with the instrument and ability to think like a guitarist to stitch all the pieces together convincingly. The same can be said of almost everything, really. When you get down to it, only the most extremely simple instruments ever sound completely convincing. Anyway, I think fake guitars are more plausible than fake brass instruments. Recordings of me playing the trumpet very badly still sound better than the best fake, to my ears. I did hear one extremely convincing computer-generated trumpet performance. To achieve it, they built a robot with artificial lips that could produce sound using a real trumpet. -- D.
