Guitar string plucked at headstock

This is a single guitar string plucked with a pick directly at the headstock, that means between the tuners and the nut. There the string is very short and tight, resulting in a high, almost piano-like tone. Also, since there is no sound box, the tone is rather quiet.

I used this for a sampler and I liked the sound of it. This is the raw recording. If you want to use it in a sampler too, I recommend adding some EQ, Reverb and maybe some delay. It is not perfectly in tune though, the closest note is A#. You might tweak the tuning a little bit when using it in combination with other tuned instruments.
