For the Guitarist on the Go

The Yamaha SLG200S Silent Steel-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 SLG200S Silent Guitar can do for you.

Travel with ease

With the SLG200S, 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 SLG200S's slim body breaks down 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 SLG200S, 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 SLG200S 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 Steel-string guitar with Yamaha pickup and preamp system

Great Guitar!

I've been wanting to get one of these for a few years and finally made the decision to do so. This Yamaha instrument is fantastic and a lot of fun too play. I lowered the action a bit and put .010 to .050 Earth-wood acoustic strings on mine and it plays like an electric and sounds fabulous through an acoustic amplifier. When I need to practice in the morning or evening without disturbing anyone around I just pop in the headphones a play away in my own little world. The reverb on this unit is great for headphone practice as well as the chorus. I also use this direct into my recording setup and with some basic EQ-ing I get it dialed in to taste for recording as well. It comes with a really nice gig bag and some earbuds. Thanks Matt Masek and Sweetwater Team for getting this too me quickly and flawlessly.

Silent Guitar

I've had the steel string version for about a year. This is an underpriced instrument. That in and of itself says quite a bit. The fact that it's highly portable, collapsible, light, and an amazing visual attention getter would be meaningless if it wasn't a high quality, high performance instrument... which it is.

Audience response has been positive and in many cases I'm told that it sounds better than high priced Taylors and other top end acoustic guitars.

Has the profile of a Les Paul with none of the weight. Feels like an electric guitar but sounds like an acoustic one. On board electronics are a bonus!

This guitar should sell for more, and when people ask me what I paid for it they seem surprised!

A Great Travel and Gig Guitar.

This is a great guitar with a unique way of creating its's sound via the SRT Powered Pickup System.

Paired up with the THR5A amp and it's settings, the amps' software settings, the guitars' own settings, and then run through a DAW and its' settings, it's amazing the sounds you can get out of the SLG200S.

It stays in tune, there is no feedback, the breaking down of the frame for portability, the included case, the fact you can play and listen through the included earphones and not disturb anyone late at night, or play it through an amp and have it sound as great as it does is well worth having this in your collection.

The guitar and the amp can both be battery powered adding to the portability aspect. The guitar and amp are both aesthetically pleasing.

I also purchased the power adapter and a guitar strap, neither of which are included.

I am very happy with my SLG200S.
Rated 5/5

Great practice guitar.

I love this guitar for practice. It feels good and looks interesting. I can sit in the bed room and not disturb anyone in the house, or sit on the porch and play without the neighbors hearing me. I normally play without amplification, but when using headphones it sounds like a real guitar. This is THE guitar for travel, and it also records well. One added bonus, it tends NOT to feedback on stage. A side effect of not having a resonant body. If you play acoustic on stage and have trouble with feedback you may want to give this a try.

Mine is the steel string version and it holds tune very well. I can practice with it, put it away, pull it out a month later, and it is still in tune. This is a quality guitar.
