In short
You can carry a guitar in cabin baggage within limits. A guitar or similar instrument comes into the cabin only if it fits the cabin-bag sizer, or if you book an extra seat (a cabin-seat baggage, CBBG). Otherwise it travels as fragile checked baggage or special handling. Policies and fees vary by airline.
