Electronic Pickup
 An acoustic/electric guitar is an acoustic guitar with a built-in
pickup. You can record your playing or plug your guitar into an amplifier to
project the sound to your audience. Since you can play the guitar like a
regular acoustic, using the amplifier is optional.
When you're starting out on acoustic guitar, you don't need a
built-in pickup. It will not help you play or sound better.
However, if the model you like is only available with a pickup, 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) -- a benefit to more experienced players.
