Subject: RE: Electric/acoustic cutaway
Call me a skeptic, but I have my doubts about how satisfactory it would be to be stuck with a particular tuner that's part of a guitar (especially a low-priced guitar like those Johnsons). I have found that choosing a tuner is almost as individual a thing as choosing an instrument. All the ones I've owned, in fact, have been some kind of crap. So I'd be very leery of a built-in one. And when I get a good one (talking Intellitouch), I plan to use it for more than one instrument. But hey, whatever works. I'm just saying it might seem convenient, but there are drawbacks.

Seriously, those Guilds are nice guitars, plugged or unplugged, low feedback, comfy...I say buy a guitar based on it's guitar characteristics, choosing on the basis of a gimmick like this is like buying a car cause it has good tires...
