Product Description

SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modelled after the tones of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio environment. By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar—right down to its natural sustain and decay—Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance, body tone and ambience of an acoustic guitar.

SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors.

Because the SLG can virtually reproduce the sound of a guitar recorded with a microphone, players are free from complicated procedures involved in mic-ing up a guitar when recording at home or in other settings.


From the manufacturer

Yamaha SLG Silent Guitars

The SLG is the perfect instrument for practice, travel or stage use – any time an acoustic guitar just won’t do. Near-silent performance makes discrete practice simple, Yamaha’s exclusive SRT-Powered pickup system gives incredibly natural acoustic tone through headphones or line-out, studio-quality on-board effects enhance your playing to perfection, line-in functionality makes jamming easy. Coupled with unique, striking looks and a rosewood and maple framed full-size collapsible body SLG lets you play whenever and wherever inspiration hits.

SRT Powered Technology

SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modeled after the tones of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio environment.

By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar—right down to its natural sustain and decay—Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance and tone of an acoustic guitar, while avoiding the need for a microphone when recording. SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors.

Playability

The slim body of the SLG gives these instruments superb playability, and allows players to switch to playing an electric guitar without any discomfort should the need arise.

Portability

The detachable top section of SLG’s frame provides practicality and portability beyond that of a conventional guitar. The luxury gigbag provided can be carried with ease and fits into an aircraft overhead compartment with room to spare.

Design

The distinctive SLG design is the result of a collaborative effort between the project team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory, and combines traditional guitar lines with an innovative new form unlike that of any guitar before it.

Silence

The bodiless design of the SLG offers a natural, quiet sound that allows guitarists to play without disturbing others, whether practicing late at night or playing in the living room when the family is home. Th SLG200S is 80% quieter than an acoustic guitar.

Customers like the sound quality of the guitar. They say that the sound is rich and natural, and the strings ring true and loud. The SG sounds warm, full, and rich, with even volume distribution across all six strings. Some customers also mention that the body is too thin in the neck.

Customers like the action of the guitar. They say it sounds great, the playability is phenomenal, and it's super light, portable, and has a great little toy.

1) The upper edge of the frame is not good for a classical guitar, 2) 5th string broken in 30 days
4 Stars
1) The upper edge of the frame is not good for a classical guitar, 2) 5th string broken in 30 days
The sound quality is very good, it is also a little heavier than I expected.A major problem is that the upper edge of the detachable frame is not designed with ergonomic, the curved edge makes the contact point/area with the body is very small, as shown in the picture, and after just a few minutes, I find it presses against my chest wall near the xiphoid too much, while it is almost impossible to find a way to hold the guitar in a comfort position for like a 10 mins practice. I have to use a pad now. A somehow straight edge might be better, or add a foam block or a pad which can be attached to the edge, while it can be stored in the bag too.An update on 01/01/2022:In the afternoon, when I tried to play the guitar, which was placed on a stand, I found the 5th string was broken silently, what a big surprise on the first day of 2022, the package was delivered on 12/03/2021, so it is less than one month. Had to order a new set of string now.
