Eliot Fisk has done a this relatively recently (~2015) with the Bach cello suites. Although they aren't improvised, they are re-arranged to take advantage of the fact that one can play more notes simultaneously on the guitar — to me they sound like warmer lute arrangements with some modern voicings. Definitely different than the arrangements I play.

WBUR in Boston did a piece on them recently here: http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2017/11/24/eliot-fisk-rebroadcas...

Very cool!

In spirit, it's probably quite similar to the famous Bach-Busoni Chaconne from the violin partitas.
