I'm puzzled at that one just a little.  Guitar-based work isn't either
ambient or otherwise just because it's guitar-based... Do you mean in terms
of it 'sounding' like guitar being a non-ambient element?  I know there are
probably a number of keyboard/dj-based loopers who might be just as
ambivalent on this level.  And I certainly think of my work as ambient in
nature and inspiration, at least. :)

Though, while I've used plenty of Found Objects in my looping, I've not 
used
actual meat.  Though I'm told nothing makes a "fist-fight" sound effect 
like
a fist into a wet steak.  Yeah, I know, I just couldn't resist.
