Miguel,
I guess trying out the combo yourself and really listening would be the best answer (making sure the piano was really in tune of course). Maybe I'm over sensative tuning wise but, for instance, a major 3rd on a well tuned piano is not that same interval as a major 3rd on a well tuned guitar. They are off by a few cents. Now I've done harpsichord and guitar stuff and that is fine (and John Williams did a guitar and pipe organ as well ... weird eh). But as you recall a harpsichord is pre-tempered tuning (thus Bach's "well tempered clavier" compositions to celebrate the new fangled piano forte). Perhaps a synth that you could adjust the temperament on. Anyway, I guess its just a matter of personal taste. I mean jazz electric guitar and piano are very common. But then again as another example, I know that a violinist will play differently when playing with a piano than when playing in quartet of strings only. Similarly, when I'd accompany opera singers who where used to singing with piano, they'd always have to settle into the guitars intonation. It just seemed to throw them for a bit. So it's definitely different. Interesting :)
Sean
