What categorizes it is not so much the instruments used but by who wrote it. Since the song was written by either a professional songwriter or a one or more band members (and not by a composer for orchestra instrumentation) it falls under the mega-umbrella of Popular music. It's still a pop song, it's just that it has been transcribed to be played by an orchestra or for solo, duo, trio, quartet, etc etc performance.
