The correct answer would be "sometimes but not necessarily always." The dimensions of cabin baggage may be left up to the airline personnel if the flight is not crowded. But there is no way you would get a guitar on board or through transit at London Heathrow for example. You can try and you may be successful as many report they have been but don't be too surprised if you find it's taken away as checked luggage, either at the counter or at the door of the aircraft. Professional musicians buy a seat for their instruments.

I always hand carry my electric guitar in a soft case. If the overhead compartment cannot accommodate your guitar, ask one of plane staff to place it on their locker.

...

Peace out

I have carried a manual guitar with me (only hand baggage). You could try packing the attachments on to your luggage, and the guitar part with you in hand luggage.

On a quick thought, why don't you just call up the airways helpline and get it queried

Don't be daft! If it won't fit in the overheads then it can't be carried.
