Travel Companion for the Classical Guitarist

The Yamaha SLG200N Silent Nylon-string Guitar solves so many problems for guitarists that it is a must-have in your collection. It's easy to throw over your shoulder when you're traveling, and its minimalist body virtually eliminates the feedback problems that often plague acoustic guitars when you're performing live. Whether practicing at home, on a fly-gig, or recording, you owe it to yourself to find out what the Yamaha SLG200N Silent Guitar can do for you.

Travel with ease

With the SLG200N, Yamaha has solved a headache traveling guitarists have always had to deal with: finding space for your instrument. Acoustic guitars, because of their bulk, are especially problematic. The SLG200N's slim body breaks down by removing the upper bout to fit in its included compact gig bag. It will easily fit in the overhead compartment on your flight, under the seat in the band van, or anywhere else it needs to.

Play silently with big-guitar tone

Guitarists at Sweetwater have been in situations where we struggle to get a good sound from our instruments because of having to practice quietly, or even silently. We imagine you have, too. But with the SLG200N, just plug in your headphones and you'll hear studio-quality, miked acoustic-guitar tone, courtesy of Yamaha's SRT Powered pickup and preamp system. You can blend that signal with the included under-saddle pickup. You also get great reverbs and chorus to further tailor your tone.

Great live acoustic sound with none of the feedback

Another benefit of the powerful SRT Powered pickup system in the SLG200N is what it brings to your live performances. By using the onboard effects and SRT Powered system, you'll send the same miked-up guitar sound to your audience that you hear when practicing. Without a large acoustic body resonating from loud stage volume, feedback is a nonissue. You can move freely around the stage with full confidence that your audience is hearing exactly what you hear.

  • Hybrid nylon-string guitar with Yamaha pickup and preamp system

This is soooooo much fun

The SLG200N is better than I hoped. I am able to practice without driving my wife crazy even though it really isn't totally silent. I live in Arizona and don't have to worry about keeping this guitar hydrated so it is out all of the time.

Yamaha Silent Guitar Nylon

This is a fantastic guitar, especially at this price point. The guitar is solid, well built, and you don't need a lower adapter - The 2 AA batteries last a long time. It plays very well, and has room for adjustments to make it play even better. And the sound is amazing.

I bought it for use in our Church Band - I've always loved the sound of a Classical in contemporary music (Lee Ritenour uses one for rhythm and lead, and it's a nice fit). The problem has been that on stage a Classical just doesn't project. It gets drowned out.

This one lets you crank up the sound as loud as you need to. It works. I'm still adjusting the sound, fine tuning my amp settings, but this is doing exactly what I was after.

The big surprise? It actually has a very nice punch when used with Overdrive. It is a usable sound. Full. Powerful. I originally thought I'd be switching guitars a lot - And I do some. But this is a LOT more flexible than I'd expected.

On top of everything else, it's just a beautiful instrument to look at. I always liked Yamaha's instruments. They did this one right.

Made to Make Music

I have always loved innovative guitars! The Yamaha Silent Guitar with nylon strings and narrow neck for steel string guitar players is fantastic. It is highly portable, comes in a special robust gig bag, and is easy to assemble. I found a strap that fits it well. Plugged into an acoustic amp, it has an excellent sound and no feedback. This guitar is stage worthy! I could easily gig with it.

The neck has a flat radius which is standard for a classical guitar. This takes a bit of getting used to, but I am adapting to it well. The guitar's fit and finish are top notch. It is a beautiful instrument.

The Yamaha Silent Guitar is perfect for travel (just pack a Yamaha THR5 modeling amp to accompany it). It is a great office guitar (I routinely teach courses in world music and popular culture). Being able to play "silently" with headphones is a great feature and does not disturb one's office mates, friends, and family. The on board preamp and tuner are splendid. The preamp is powered by 2 AA batteries.

I love playing this guitar and I like the feel and sound of nylon strings. At home, I often play my Cordoba Fusion 12 crossover nylon string guitar (which I also purchased from Sweetwater). The Yamaha Silent Guitar lives in my office. I am delighted with the Yamaha Silent Guitar. It is a welcome addition to my guitar collection.

Amazing little guitar

This is an awesome guitar, I picked mine up used, but wouldn't hesitate paying full price for one. I own several guitars, Breedlove, Gibson electrics, PRS, Fender, Gretsch. This one sits by my bed, if I want to grab a few minutes practicing at night I can easily do it without disturbing anyone else. I get about 8 hours out of the 2xAA batteries on it, The sounds through my Grado SR80 headphones ($90 15 years ago) are phenomenal. The onboard electronics are top notch! I am usually an electric player, but this pushes me in to a different space musically, and nylon strings are so easy on the fingers. This is an excellent product, you wont be disappointed!
