I don't believe so, though I'm far from being an old hand at this. (I'm just old. )

I've got two mic inputs on the front, and two 1/4" inputs in the back. (And also on the back, if I ever need 'em, a Midi I/O, Optical In, and SPDIF I/O.)

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something?

When my son is home tonight, I'll plug his guitar in as well and test it out. He doesn't have an extra mic, so I'll bum one from my Dad tomorrow. By Sunday I should have a definitive answer!

The two (non-digital) inputs on the back are line level inputs. They will work just fine if you feed them line level signals. They won't work very well otherwise (e.g., microphones, passive pickups). For example, if you wanted to use 4 microphones at the same time you would need an additional piece of equipment - a two channel microphone preamp, the dual mono outputs of which wound feed the line level inputs of the recording interface. Similarly, if you wanted to use the digital inputs, you will need an additional piece of equipment.

Yep, that makes sense! I appreciate the feedback!
