Yamaha Silent Steel-String Guitar - Natural

The Yamaha SLG200S Silent Steel-String Guitar in Natural is a steel string guitar designed for practising almost silently, thanks to its slim, minimal body, while still producing a full acoustic sound through headphones or when connected to an amp or PA. It suits guitarists who want to practise at any hour without disturbing others, as well as travelling musicians and performers who need a compact, gig-ready instrument.

Quiet practice, full performance sound
The SLG200S uses Yamaha's SRT Powered pickup and preamp system to recreate a natural acoustic tone. Played unplugged, the slim body keeps the sound very quiet, so you can practise through headphones without disturbing anyone nearby. Plug into an amp or PA and the same system delivers a full, well projected acoustic tone for the stage or studio.

Built to travel
A detachable frame lets the SLG200S break down into a smaller footprint for easy transport, and its ultra-slim body is far more compact than a conventional acoustic guitar. A gig bag is included, making it a practical choice for musicians who need an instrument that travels well.

Familiar feel, modern design
Despite its slim profile, the SLG200S keeps the 634mm scale length and neck shape of a conventional acoustic guitar, so the playing feel stays familiar. The mahogany body and neck are paired with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, finished in a satin natural colourway.

Effects and controls built in
Onboard controls include volume, bass and treble, two reverbs and a chorus effect, plus a chromatic tuner, so you can shape your tone without any extra pedals or outboard gear. An AUX input also lets you plug in another audio source to play along with backing tracks.
