Yamaha SLG200S Silent Guitar

The Yamaha SLG200S is a steel-string Silent Guitar designed for quiet practice, convenient travel and amplified performance. Its innovative, bodyless construction features a solid mahogany body and a detachable rosewood-and-maple frame, creating a compact and lightweight instrument that is easy to transport. Although it produces very little acoustic volume, its Yamaha SRT Powered system recreates the natural resonance and tonal character of a studio-recorded acoustic guitar through headphones or an amplifier.

The guitar features Yamaha’s SRT Powered preamp system, which blends the sound from its piezo pickup with a simulated microphone-captured acoustic tone. Built-in effects include two reverb settings and chorus, allowing players to enhance their sound without external effects equipment. Its onboard chromatic tuner, bass and treble controls, and headphone output make it suitable for private practice and recording. The AUX IN connection also allows players to connect an external audio device and play along with backing tracks.

The SLG200S features a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and a distinctive detachable wooden frame. Its 634 mm scale length and 43 mm nut width provide a familiar steel-string playing feel. The instrument includes LINE OUT, AUX IN, headphone and DC-IN connections, along with compatibility with battery or AC power. A durable original carry bag and stereo earphones are included.
