I guess a common advice is to stay away from .toInstance().

But assuming you have to do that (maybe it's a test), I would do it this way
to avoid messing with reflection directly:
abstract class ListModule<T> extends AbstractModule {

  protected ListModule(List<T> list) {
    this.list = list;
  }

  @Provides List<T> provideList() {
    return list;
  }
}

new ListModule<String>(new ArrayList<String>()) {};

FeedBurner has a convenience class that can be used as:

new BindingModule<List<String>>(Lists.newArrayList()) {};
