Feature-wise this guitar is perfect! There is no need to add or remove anything, and that is quite an achievement by Yamaha, considering that it's quite hard to please every musician's desire, in order to grade an instrument such as SBG1000 with such a high score when it comes to guitar features. That means that Yamaha has constructed more or less a guitar with perfect features, so if you decide to buy SBG1000 you will be more than happy with it.
