Sniffer Disclaimer: No guitar NEEDS modification. What makes guitar sound good to YOU is play guitar way it sounds good to YOU! (In my case, my playing always sound very bad, haha.) I modify guitar because I like to modify guitar. I build guitar because I like to build guitar. Some persons it seems may be "triggered" by expensive components installed to inexpensive guitar. Don't be upset. It is fun. And most of all, young person who wants to buy guitar should not be discourage from inexpensive guitar model, because internet video makes them think this guitar needs new components right from start. They don't. None do. If you want to just play guitar, just open box, and play guitar. It will be great. 😈
