I know what is meant here, and am likewise quite happy to entertain music involving guitars that just *happens to have* guitars in it rather than flaunting its 'guitarity' as some form of injection of we're-so-worthy 'organic' and/or (bogus) 'musicianly' credibility (indirectly diminishing synthesizers and acousmatics. etc), or just jumping on the post-indietronica bandwagon.
