A guitar body’s effect can be simulated by convolution with its measured impulse response

Evidence

With certain parameter values the model of the string sounds like a guitar not an acoustic guitar, but an electric guitar. This happens because the model does not include the model of the body of the guitar. The model of the body can be implemented simply by convolving the output of the string model with a measured impulse response of the guitar body shown in Figure 6.3. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 697
