From: Steven Bird 

I am looking for data and/or references relating to the
spectrum or amplitude/frequency graph for the classical guitar.
[The spectrum shows the amplitude of each harmonic
(or overtone) in a note played on the instrument.]
The spectrum for a given note depends not only on
the quality and construction of the instrument, but
on how and where the strings are plucked.  Most
research effort seems to be oriented towards the
violin, the piano and some brass instruments, and
there is little relating to the guitar. 

If anyone has some relevant data, or can suggest some
references, I would appreciate hearing from you via mail.

Steven Bird.
