Yamaha SLG200 Silent Guitar

Yamaha is now shipping the new SLG200 Silent Guitar series. The new series comes equipped with special SRT (Studio Response Technology) preamp and pickups, which models studio quality tones created with high-end microphones and top-quality Yamaha acoustic guitars to create the sonic illusion of playing a full-bodied acoustic guitar.

SLG200 guitars are available in both a steel and nylon versions with three color options. They all include ear buds and a headphone jack for near-silent playing, making them perfect for dorm and apartment dwellers. A ΒΌ inch jack provides connectivity with an amplifier, loudspeaker, PA system, audio interface or mixing board. The removable top bout design allows the SLG200's to collapse into a slim, sturdy gig bag, which makes for the ultimate on-the-go guitar.

Other upgraded features include a new satin mahogany neck profile, all-wood (Rosewood/Maple) top bouts, a reconfigured easy-access control panel, an on-board tuner and a redesigned battery cavity powered by two AA batteries for longer life. In addition to the proprietary SRT pickup and preamp system, the SLG200 series also comes with a 6-crystal under-saddle piezo pickup that can be blended with the modeled SRT sounds along with onboard reverb and chorus effects to dial in just the right tone. The design eliminates feedback in a live performance setting.
