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 SBG1820 Ltd 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 SBG1820 Ltd you will be more than happy with it.

This beauty has virtually no flaws. Yamaha surpassed their traditional level of quality and produced an instrument that is built great, and built to last. The finish is amazing and the hardware easily adjustable to fit any kind of action. The neck is superb and smooth while playing. SBG1820 Ltd stays in tune 99% of the time and responds well to various playing styles.

SBG1820 Ltd is a reliable guitar that will go to hell and back with you, and would want to do it again. It's a magnificent instrument that is reliable on stage as it is in studio. It will stand the beating and still would not lose its charm and ability to perform. Yamaha did make the instrument that should be considered the most reliable in its class!
