I have to say, though, I'm with magicbuss and don't think guitars necessarily need low end.

They don't but would you just throw an HPF on or would notice it first... "Hey this guitar is a little heavy on the low end" then shelve it off a little and if that doesn't work, HPF. IMHO that is much better than the popular internet advice of "There ain't no info down there, just HPF all the guitars around 100 or so".
When I heard that, I tried it and it quickly made guitars a bit thin if not careful. It worked out much better to listen to what I'm mixing and actually well.... mix.
I have no issue with using an HPF when that's the thing to do but the popular rule isn't that which AFAIK was the point.
