Best Answer

Compared to the instruments of the orchestra the guitar is still quite modern, but they are featured as soloists in guitar concertos.

It mostly depends upon the original composer. If the composer didn't include the guitar as one of the instruments he wrote the piece for, then chances are it won't be used. It's the composer who determines which instruments are to be used in his/her piece, not the conductor or musicians.
