Electronic Pickup
 An acoustic/electric guitar is an acoustic guitar with a built-in
pickup. With this you can record your playing, or plug your guitar into an amplifier to
project the sound to your audience. Using the amplifier is optional since you can play
the guitar just like a regular acoustic.
When you're starting out on acoustic guitar, you don't need a
built-in pickup. It will not help you play better or sound better.
However, if the model you like is available only with a pickup, then why
not have one? Keep in mind that a built-in pickup
may raise the price of a guitar, so, you might be able to afford a
better-quality guitar without a pickup than one with a pickup.

Cutaway
A "cutaway" feature makes it easier to play notes on the higher frets
(usually above the 12th fret). This is beneficial to more experienced players.
