Someday maybe I'll get an acoustic guitar with a cutaway, but it'll have to be pretty damn good, and I'll have to really need the upper fret access. In the meantime, the several guitars that get regular use around here suffice. I tend to use the upper frets more than most folks I know who do own a cutaway.

So often, at least by what I see of inexpensive guitars coming through my teaching studio, a cutaway comes with a factory installed pickup. If the buyer simply wants to plug in without the hassle of after-market changes, they pretty much are stuck with the cutaway whether they need it or not. That's not universally the case, but it is much of the time. Also, on less expensive guitars, paying for a cutaway (and that stupid piezo) means you're not getting features that contribute to better tone.

My recommendation: don't bother with a cutaway.

Peace, Mooh.
