Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Practice your guitar skills without breaking the landlord's rules, or disturbing family members and neighbors with the Yamaha SLG100N Silent Guitar, which allows you to practice and perform in complete privacy using headphones, while still enjoying the realistic sounds of an acoustic instrument.
The nylon string SLG100N features a streamlined appearance with a lightweight composite body, Mahogany neck and Rosewood fingerboard, and breaks down quickly for ease of transportation.
Proprietary Yamaha electronics include Piezo in-bridge pickups and an internal DSP which reproduces the natural sounding reverb of user-selected acoustic space. The resulting sound is a warm, full-bodied nylon string tone. An auxiliary mini-stereo input on the body of the instrument can easily connect to an external CD player or tape machine for practicing along with pre-recorded material. The SLG100N can also be plugged into an amplifier or P.A. system for live performances.
For beginners or experienced players alike, the Silent Guitar will provide you with pleasure through great playability and tone.
Silent Design
Compared to a normal classic guitar the Silent Guitar "acoustically" produces only 1/100th the amount of sound energy and 1/10th the amount of sound volume (tested in-house). Such excellent silent characteristics makes it perfect for home use or practice.
Detachable Frame
The Silent Guitar's unique design offers excellent comfort and support even when played while seated. A cutaway design provides full access to the upper frets. The upper frame detaches from the main body and fits, along with the rest of the guitar, neatly into a compact case that makes carrying easy.Product Description
Yamaha silent nylon string guitar fuses traditional and ultra-modern influence that are great for both practice and performance. This unique guitar has a detachable frame and comes with a special gigbag for easy transport.

Yamaha SLG Guitar,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yamaha SLG100N Silent Nylon Acoustic Electric Classical Guitar (Electronics)
I live in an apartment building and have had difficulty finding practice space. The Yamaha SLG guitar runs on a nine volt transitor radio battery and allows me to practice with headphones without bothering my neighbors. (Note: This guitar is not 100% silent, however it is much, much quieter than a standard guitar and as such is not likely to bother your neighbors "as much", if at all.) The unplugged sound is about as loud as picking an unplugged Fender Strat.
I would buy this guitar again for the silent feature. Although this guitar will fold up for easy carry-on, I don't think that the guitar will fit in an airplane overhead compartment due to its length.

I love my SLG100N Yamaha Silent Guitar!,

This review is from: Yamaha SLG100N Silent Nylon Acoustic Electric Classical Guitar (Electronics)
The neck is SLICK, man. I just love the action on this guitar, and I love its size and its tone through headphones or through an amp. I bought it with low expectations, but immediately began to appreciate its many virtues.
I made a couple small changes: I put in a battery disconnect switch. I painted all the raised lettering at the various controls with white paint to make the lettering easily legible, and I padded the upper bout. None of these changes is a big deal or really affects in any way the quality (which is truly five star) of the guitar. Just cosmetics, really, although I think Yamaha should incorporate these ideas in a future version of the guitar. They should also build in an electronic tuner, since there's plenty of room to do so. (I use a Korg Chromatic Tuner CA-30 on my Silent Guitar, mounted with small succion cups and jacked in to the guitar jack.) All in all this is just a fabulous instrument. It's perfect if you live in a house where other people are bothered by your guitar habit, because a few feet away another person won't even hear it, while you are personally enjoying big fat gorgeous tone at adequate volume. What can I say? It's my favorite guitar out of the half dozen I own. Oh, yeah--I didn't mention the tuning machines! They are REALLY good ones! Much better than the standard tuning machines one usually finds on mass-produced guitars. There's no visible brand name on the tuners, so I suppose they are made Yamaha itself. Very good tuners!
