Yes - Seagull S6 has a flat 16" Radius

QuoteAll Seagull guitars have Indian Rosewood Fingerboard & Bridge, 16" fingerboard radius, 14:1 ratio tuning machines. Tusq® nuts & saddles by Graphtech. * Sides made with a three-layer lamination of hardwood - never pressboard.
The GI-20 has several settings that impact  tracking  -

There is a Roland GI-20 Editor for Win/Mac here:

And join the Yahoo MIDI Guitar Group - mostly for their resource  files area here:

But know that Acoustic Guitars have Resonate nodes at specific frequencies which may tend to cause issues with dropped notes / unintentional added ghost notes when used for Guitar to MIDI application. 

If it were me Id find a solidbody guitar with 12" radius fretboard (like a Les Paul style )  to mount the GK-2A on
