I'm using Band in a Box for Mac Audiophile version. Could someone please list the exact steps to find an "Instrumental Study" (preferably for Guitar)?
Thank You in Advance!

Hello,
You find them using File | Open Song. They are the songs files in the Instrumental Studies subfolder of the Band-in-a-Box folder.

Just as an example, launched " Solo-Accompaniment Pop Ballad, Ev 110 - #3 F " and rather curious how those 4 instrument tracks for this study are blanked out and also not sure what these studies are intended to teach.
Clicking on the tabs " Patches " and " Piano " shows sound activity although clicking the " solo " button does nothing to hear the individual tracks.
There is very little information in the built in manuals ( full manual or upgrade manual ).

The instrumental Studies are songs with artist performances. They are a great way to learn, as they feature common chord progressions in a variety of styles, and include complete and accurate notation and tab.
The one you selected is a solo-accompaniment piano, which is why the other tracks are disabled in the song. The performance is saved on the Melody track (indicated by the orange track colour), and is fully transcribed there. You can enable the other tracks if you wish, by right-clicking on the track and clicking on the menu item "xxxx track is disabled". You could also select a different Style.
The comments for each of the studies are on the Song Memo...
"This instrumental study focuses on solo-accompaniment acoustic piano in the Pop Ballad style. Learning this type of accompaniment is very beneficial and can be applied to many different styles of music. The player uses a simple eighth note rhythm, filling in the eighth note segments in a syncopated fashion, mixing left and right hand playing. You can view the notes on the big piano for a simple and quick way to follow along. This particular song is in the key of F and has frequent chord changes, often occuring every 2 or 4 beats. The chords in the progression are very common in pop music: I, IV, V, and VIm."
