My mileage varies. Cybotron - "Techno City" (1984) IMO defines the
original spirit of techno: moody, synthetic, thematic dance music with
extended instrumental passages and soulful yet otherworldly vocals. It
quite prominently uses guitar.. not exceptionally well, but without it the
song would have a completely different feel.

Other examples out there? I can think of a couple of techno tracks that
use acoustic guitar loops to great effect.
