That would definitely depend on your definition of art. The word "art" is a nebulous term that could invariably be defined differently. The definition that you find can go from being very general to being very specific. Nonetheless, I think I do get a sense of your question. Perhaps the following points can help you out:

A quick search on Google will define art as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

->Let's keep this in mind.

1. The construct of a guitar- its craftsmanship from its headstock down to its bridge and saddle- can be considered as a form of art. Just the rosette itself comes in a myriad of designs. Through time, different craftsmen design their guitar differently to suit various styles and personalities of their clients. Even those passed through a factory line are designed by someone despite being mass-produced. The part on employing the "human creative skill and imagination into its creation" is indubitable.

2.Though perhaps lacking as a vehicle of message (as art tend to be), it can be tapestry of narratives pertaining to its user or maker. Go find out about Jimmy Page's home-made guitar- I would very much consider that guitar as a piece of art. The guitar on its own can be a piece of art that expresses the stories behind it and what the stories can stand for. This covers the part about "expression".

3. There are people who use the guitar's body as a canvas for their own expression. This can be as simplistic as stickers and sharpie drawings and words. Meanwhile, there are those who make use of pyrography and paints to make elaborate illustrations on the guitar. Meanwhile, there are also people who cut designs into the body of the guitar (despite how this changes the acoustic quality of the instrument). The guitar becomes part of the art it carries- it is a piece of art (loosely).

Ultimately, you can argue around this. There is no absolute answer to your question.
