The neck is SLICK, man. I just love the action on this guitar, and I love its size and its tone through headphones or through an amp. I bought it with low expectations, but immediately began to appreciate its many virtues.
I made a couple small changes: I put in a battery disconnect switch. I painted all the raised lettering at the various controls with white paint to make the lettering easily legible, and I padded the upper bout. None of these changes is a big deal or really affects in any way the quality (which is truly five star) of the guitar. Just cosmetics, really, although I think Yamaha should incorporate these ideas in a future version of the guitar. They should also build in an electronic tuner, since there's plenty of room to do so. (I use a Korg Chromatic Tuner CA-30 on my Silent Guitar, mounted with small succion cups and jacked in to the guitar jack.)
All in all this is just a fabulous instrument. It's perfect if you live in a house where other people are bothered by your guitar habit, because a few feet away another person won't even hear it, while you are personally enjoying big fat gorgeous tone at adequate volume. What can I say? It's my favorite guitar out of the half dozen I own.
Oh, yeah--I didn't mention the tuning machines! They are REALLY good ones! Much better than the standard tuning machines one usually finds on mass-produced guitars. There's no visible brand name on the tuners, so I suppose they are made Yamaha itself. Very good tuners!

I live in an apartment building and have had difficulty finding practice space. The Yamaha SLG guitar runs on a nine volt transitor radio battery and allows me to practice with headphones without bothering my neighbors. (Note: This guitar is not 100% silent, however it is much, much quieter than a standard guitar and as such is not likely to bother your neighbors "as much", if at all.) The unplugged sound is about as loud as picking an unplugged Fender Strat.
I would buy this guitar again for the silent feature. Although this guitar will fold up for easy carry-on, I don't think that the guitar will fit in an airplane overhead compartment due to its length.
