If you are using mp3 as the guide track, it is good practice for the guide
track to include sync tones. You can copy/paste these into your exported
wav of your guitars or whatever and then accurate alignment with the
original session is possible.

Are you expected to return only the guitars you record or the whole 'mix'?
In the former case you might bear with the quality loss introduced by
encoding to mp3, especially if the bitrate is not too low (I guess at least
256kps). In the latter case I would politely ask your friend to send you a
lossless version of the file(s) - e.g. wave or flac.

This "master in mp3 form" makes me a bit nervous. Why?
Because I don't know enough about the mp3 encoding process.........
Is it "lossy" simply because it rounds-off stuff?
Or does it actually drop samples (like various lossy video encoders?)
If so, the wav file that I send him could get weird sample-wise when he
imports it into the "real" session, no?
Am I picking nits here?
