You do not state whether this is an acoustic or Electric Guitar. An acoustic guitar measures 65 db average to the player's ear. Of course this can vary dramatically, I do not think there is a record for the loudest acoustic guitar but think 80 db is a reasonable estimate.
As far a electric guitar, there is no "real" limit related to electric guitar but rather to sound amplification. A 100W guitar amp can hit 140db. It is easy for a professional level P.A. system to achieve 160 db with good sound quality. It can get louder but at the cost of lower sound quality. Since sound this loud is considered painful and damaging to the listener's hearing, companies don't make systems louder than the "pain threshold" of 155db.
The rock band "The Who" holds the record for loudest rock concert at a sustained 180db. They have since labeled themselves "the loudest rock band" as a result, it could be argued this honor be awarded to the P.A. system not the band.

A guitar is an example of what type of instrument?
plucked instrument
What is gain on guitar amps?
Gain, usually measured in decibels, is the ratio of output to input power. A more sensitive amplifier will have higher gain settings requiring less input signal.
How many decibels is a drum kit?
A drum kit is no decibels. The decibels depends how close you measure to the bat. The closer - the louder! And the louder you play the more decibels you get. The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
How loud can get one direction concerts get?
104 decibels
How many desibels can a vuvuzela reach?
127 decibels
A guitar is an example of what type of instrument?

What is the most common decibal used in guitar amps?
The most common decibel used in guitar amps would be 95 and 100 decibels. This would usually be a 60 watt amplifier.
How does one measure guitar amps?
Guitar amps are measured in decibels while speaker output can be measured in watts. The relative wattage or output is not as important as that the sound be heard above the sound of the rest of the instruments in the band.
Why is the abbreviation for decibels dB?
DeciBels
Does voltage current or power affect volume in a speaker?
Power (Watts)/ Decibels (if the speaker is efficient) 2 Watts = 93 decibels 4 Watts = 96 decibels 8 Watts = 99 decibels 16 Watts = 102 decibels 32 Watts = 105 decibels 64 Watts = 108 decibels 128 Watts = 111 decibels 256 Watts = 114 decibels 512 Watts= 117 decibels 1024 Watts = 120 decibels Some Volumes to Compare 10 decibels = normal human breathing 60 decibels = normal human conversation 110 decibels = power saw, car horn, shouting in ear, 120 decibels = jet aircraft close by, emergency vehicle siren, rock concert
What do decibels change in?
do decibels change to wavelength
How many decibels is a whisper?
20 decibels
What range of decibels can be made by an electric guitar?
That would depend on the decibel range output of the amplifier used by it. A very well designed electric guitar itself without an amplifier is barely audible. A small 30W amp will maximize at around 90dB.
How many decibels is a pigs squeal?
207 decibels.
Decibels are a measuremeant of what?
Decibels are a measurement of the loudness of sound.
What is the symbol for decibels?
The usual symbol for decibels is dB.
Which is sound measured by watts meters amps or decibels?
