A '''guitar''' is an object found in various expansions of ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''.
In ''The Sims'', ''The Sims 2'', and all ''The Sims 2'' based games, the guitar performance is controlled by the [[Creativity (skill)|

}}In ''[[The Sims: Livin Large]]'', guitar performance is controlled by the [[Creativity (skill)|Creativity]] skill. Sims will play better as their creativity goes up, and Sims who come to watch are more likely to respond positively.
The guitar is known as the '''Beejaphone Guitar''', and resembles a [[wikipedia:Fender Stratocaster|Fender Stratocaster]], more specifically the
The amplifier appears to be based on Fender's line of tube amplifiers.
Unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', [[child]]ren can play the guitar for [[fun]], even though they cannot gain skill points.
Line 50 ⟶ 51:
If three other Sims with similarly high creativity skills get together (four in total), they can each play the piano, drums and bass, producing a fantastic beat. Since each performer will have his or her own tip jar, four high-creativity Sims performing as a band can earn a fair amount in tips.
The guitar in ''The Sims 2: University'' is known as the '''Superflux Über UV Guitar''', and somewhat resembles an [[Wikipedia:Epiphone Casino|Epiphone Casino]], although with a slightly different shape, an old-fashioned "tailpiece" bridge, and a small green [[Plumbob]] at the top of the headstock.
In ''[[The Sims 2 (console)|The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|The Sims 2 Pets]]'' for console, Sims can shoot fire from the head of the guitar while playing.

Every musician dreams to touch, nigh, smell the catgut strings of this blessed weapon of rock. You are lucky to be chosen for The Rock Hammer - do not defy the rock, lest you find yourself jamming to country.

If ''University'' is installed, the ''Perform...'' interaction is available, and The Rock Hammer can be played together with other instruments.
Unlike some other guitar models in ''The Sims'', the Rock Hammer doesn't appear to be based on a particular model, and is instead just a generic "rock guitar", with a black paintjob, oddly shaped body and sharply pointed ends.

Line 97 ⟶ 98:
}}In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', guitar performance is controlled by the [[guitar skill]]. The reputation Sims have with you will increase as they watch you play the guitar.{{clarify}} Sims have three options once they reach at least level five: to play for tips (money), to perform a song/composition, or simply to play. Performing a song makes a Sim reach the next level more speedily. Another option is unlocked at this level; when a Sim is with their significant other, they may serenade them. Guitars can be placed in the Sim's [[inventory]] and played on [[community lot]]s.
Unlike the game's predecessors, the guitar appears to be an acoustic guitar rather than an electric due to the absence of an amplifier. This means that less space is required to place it on a lot. It is not based on any particular real-life guitar, although it appears to be a "Dreadnought"-type guitar, with a small green PlumBob at the top of it's headstock.

}}In ''[[The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff]]'' there is an electric guitar for Sims with different properties from either the Sonaflux Guitar or the Dulcinea Guitar. It plays a clean electric note, instead of acoustic, and playing it at a low Guitar skill level can summon a noise complaint from neighbours, resulting in a police visit. It also generates a small amplifier when it is played, similar to the Sonaflux's guitar case when playing for tips. It plays all the same compositions as the Sonaflux, but with an electric tone to them. However, on the Sonaflux Guitar, 'A Perfect Moment' is a [[Wikipedia:Bourrée|Bourrée]] style calm piece, whereas on the Das Kauker it starts off in the same way, but abruptly turns into a wild, improvisational electric guitar solo. The guitar itself resembles a [[wikipedia:Gretsch|50s/60s Gretsch guitar]], and is nearly identical in appearance to the SuperFlux Uber UV guitar from ''The Sims 2: University''.

}}In ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', an exclusive electric guitar can be obtained as a gift received by a five-star [[celebrity]]. This guitar cannot be bought through buy mode without using cheats; however, it can be sold for §2000. This guitar's pointed bottom resembles the Ibanez ICT.

}}In ''[[The Sims 3: 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff]]'' there is a guitar inspired by the 80s. While it looks like an electric guitar, it is actually an acoustic guitar and plays the acoustic guitar sounds.
Despite having a name that implies a connection with Grunge music, the general design of the guitar far more closely resembles those played by heavy metal musicians. In particular, those in glam metal bands bands during the 1980's, which many in grunge movement heavily disliked, and ironically, ended up replacing with grunge as the dominant form of rock music in the 1990's.
Players who are familiar with modifying game files can find the <code>guitarElectricDecades</code> OBJK and change the scriptClass to <code>"Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.HobbiesSkills.ElectricGuitar"</code> to make it sound like an electric guitar. (This is possible because the sound resources for an electric guitar are in the base game.)

}}In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'', this guitar is more of a futuristic feature. This is also the only guitar that has a body with a large hole. It appears to be based on an extremely stripped-down and futuristic Gibson Explorer or Firebird. Coincidentally, despite being designed to be something only found in the far future, numerous real-life guitars of extremely similar design have been made.

This guitar from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]'' is effectively just a reskinned Sonaflux Guitar. It is part of a [[Wikipedia:Steampunk|steampunk]] set.{{Fact}}
It appears to be based on real life resonator guitars, which contain large circular metal cones similar to the one on the Dulcinea. However, since it reuses the standard guitar sounds, very much unlike the distinctive sound a resonator guitar makes.
