I know none personnaly... string are not less complexe than winds... but winds got more keys ! ehehe... that's why we find more books about these. And it's a personnal interest also for winds are the most adapted instruments for microtonality.

actually, the guitar is as capable as any instrument in playing in any key, some require alternate tunings, but it can play in any key. An instrument is only as good as it's player I say, and if you know how to play well, you should be able to play in any given key.

Of course ! But is there other things than playing notes in keys that could be found on a guitar ? Like, timber, harmonics, ways to pluck, etc. That would be found in a treaty of guitar. My doctorate co-director Caroline Traube worked her thesis partly about the timber of the guitar. It might be interesting that you read what she's talking about !

I'll check out if I can find some informations on the net for you. I'll write it in this message if I can find stuff. ;)
