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.

PlayabilityThe 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. |
PortabilityThe 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. |
DesignThe 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. |
SilenceThe 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. |

I am very glad I went with this guitar. The feel is great and the string dimensions almost exactly match my primary nylon guitar which is a custom Juan Miguel Carmona flamenco/classical (mixta) guitar I got in Granada, Spain. Scale length is slightly shorter in the SLG (650 mm) compared to the mixta (654 mm) and the nut width of the SLG (50 mm) is off by only a mm compared to my mixta (51 mm). I know that a full traditional classical has a nut width typically around 52-53 mm but for me, the 1 mm difference is really not an issue. Frankly, it forces me to really think about proper left hand finger placement which is good for my practicing anyway. I would think a full classical player would feel the same.
OK. On to the sound. The sound is amazing. However, the sound of the stock guitar as shipped was quite poor. It was WAY too strong on the bass end. I had to turn the bass knob of the guitar down to its minimum setting and max out the treble and that was barely workable. I was going to return it (thinking the piezo pickup was messed up) when I called up GearTree and they were very helpful. The key is to get the saddle piece to have uniform contact with the piezo right underneath. Also, getting high tension strings to add brightness to the sound and to get the treble strings to have a good vibration signal to transfer to the piezo completely changed the sound. Bottom line: replace the strings when you first get the guitar and make sure the piezo and the saddle make uniform contact.
The real benefit comes when you are playing and you can adjust the pure piezo signal with the Yamaha advanced classical guitar modeling signal for a tone surprisingly nice for a solid body “travel” guitar. For practicing (using the headphone output), you can also feed in an input from your iPhone/MP3 player via the AUX jack. For performance (yes, performance), you can plug into an amp via the “Strat-like” jack and you also have a wickedly cool looking guitar. Add in an on-board chromatic tuner and you have one amazing and surprisingly versatile guitar for practice AND (amazingly enough) for performance as well. Note: a proper recital still demands your best classical guitar but for a gig at a club or wine bar, etc., this could work out quite nicely.
And finally, as I mentioned above, BIG callout to the folks at GearTree - absolutely fantastic customer service. They emailed me directly about my shipment (in addition to the auto emails) AND added in a guitar stand and headphones even though the package I bought didn’t include them. They did that since other competitor Amazon sellers were making these fancy bundles. I just had to ask. Wow…
Bottom line: 5 stars (with the right strings) and get the Tobacco Sunburst version - it's beautiful.
Plugged in, there are adjustments to be made (as with every guitar), but very fun to play live on stage and easy to carry along.
The only con doesn't have to do with the guitar at all, but the description. It is NOT a hard-side bad. A hard-side bag has plastic inserts that keep the bag from bending at all. This is a soft bag. That being said, the bag is thick and is fine for the job. Also, it is NOT "translucent black". There is simply a piece of black plastic that covers the wooden center of the instrument. It looks great - but not as great as a piece of wood stained in a translucent finish.

El color de la madera es muy atractivo, a pesar de que solo es el contorno y parte central (Caoba), la madera del diapason (Palisandro) hace que sea muy cómoda para sujetar y tocar, las cuerdas de acero no se siente tan "duras" con respecto a las tradicionales guitarras de caja con cuerdas de acero, ya que el diapason es delgado, permitiendo la ejecución con mas confort.
La probe a través de un POD X3, Helix, Spark (Canales Clean), y suena tan nítido y envolvente.
そのためいつでも練習できるサイレントギターを購入しました。結論としては買ってよかったです。
もちろん音はなるのでさすがに深夜には弾きませんが、音が小さいので夜でも生活時間内なら気軽に、いつでも弾くことができます。
それに加えて、単三電池を二つ入れて、イヤホンをギターに差せば、自分だけ大きい音で聞きながら練習することもできます。これも便利でした。(電源ボタン長押しで電源を入れて、Volumeのつまみで音量を調整できます)
また、わたしが購入したものは弦高(弦の高さ。高すぎると弾くのが大変)の調整もされていて、ちょうどよく弾きやすかったです。以前ネットで買った別のアコギは弦高が高くて少し大変でした。
初心者にとっては躊躇する値段でしたが、見た目も思ったよりカッコよく、買ってよかったと思いました。個人的には、いつでも弾けるアコギが欲しいと思っている方にかなりお勧めできるギターです。
