Since you're not sure of the shot, bracket - er, take more than one option.
Polarizers are helpful indeed, but sometimes they just don't save the
situation. Depending on the guitar details, you could get very
interesting results showing the surface under the reflections.
Classic (acoustic), Metal, Custom painted, details, full lenght... You
should get a very detailed briefing with the others - client, adviser -
about their intentions. Of course, have plans b, c and d ready...
Backgound? Are they going to be shot one by one? Do they want a blonde
behind the guitars? If so, what clothing? Is the client going to be
present? If you're going to show the client some samples gathered from
the net, avoid showing something you can't do - either because you don't
have lights enough, or because you don't have the space to park the
hummer or the leopard in the background.
Good luck - and good light.

Just got word of a possible paid gig on Monday photographing guitars.
Anything in particular to watch out for?
Reflections? Use a polarizer? Try to set up a light tent?
