Best Answer

Guitar is not an orchestral instrument since it is not a regular part of a symphony orchestra. There are only several pieces that require guitar (and/or mandolin), but those are only for one or several movements inside a piece and not for the entire duration of the work. There are several reasons for exclusion of the guitar from the symphony orchestra, but the main one would probably be the difference in volume levels between the guitar and other orchestral instruments.
