Guitar sound effects, as in the guitar used as a sound source rather than played. Strings get scraped. The body gets knocked hard, with contact mics catching every vibration, and then all of it gets bent and stretched into drones, risers, impacts and creepy hits for horror and sci-fi. There's electrical hum and buzz in here too. Very little of it ends up sounding like a guitar at all.

A guitar makes a great raw source because it resonates. Scrape a string with a coin or a bottle and you get a metallic screech. Knock the body and you get a woody boom. Slow those down and stretch them, and they turn into the kind of dark Riser a horror trailer lives on. The designed sets here do that work for you. Some of it leans into hum and broken signal, which suits glitchy sci-fi.
