An electric guitar would sound awful with frequencies above 8 kHz. It's supposed to be limited bandwidth, what made the 'valve sound' (in guitars that is) was the transformer was limited in bandwidth, and had partly burned out valves driving it (to soften the edges), and a speakers that were almost crafted like a Stradavarius violin. People tried replacing speakers with modern technology ones and it messed the sound, those amps you could buy cheap because they were beyond repair without the original speakers.
Funny thing is, that guitar sound is now messed up badly by MP3 in P2P filesharing, because MP3 can't handle the complex tonality. It sounds like it's underwater or someone is fiddling around with the 'tone controls' while you listen.
