I have a vague awareness of the Nyquist - Shannon Sampling Theorem but given that the frequency range of a guitar is roughly 80 Hz up to 800 Hz it's hard to see the advantage of a higher Sample Rate for our instrument.
With that out of the way there are several guitarists who regularly contribute to this part of the forum and make great sounding recordings. I know that the Sample Rate is just one factor among a many but would still appreciate hearing what setting folks here prefer.
FWIW - I'm recording with an Apogee Quartet > MBP 2015, 15" > Logic Pro X (10.1.1)
Thanks,

Hi Trevor.
If you'd like to understand both sample rate and bit depth I have a relatively easy to understand explanation on my "Simple Homestyle Recording" page:
