Okay, so it sounds great. The neck is lovely. It stays very much in tune, and it makes a terrific practice instrument when I'm out of town. But it could be so much more!The biggest flaw is that when you put a strap on it, the strap actually loosens the bolts that screw the upper bout into the unit. Using a strap will potentially make the guitar come disassemble. I could probably rig something but right now I'm giving up on playing this standing up.Also, the jack does not work will with an angled plug, particularly when standing. Even when using the straight end, the cable can readily disconnect while playing standing up (highly disconcerting).Another oddity is that --for me -- the instrument isn't particularly comfortable.

I'm 5'8" and of smaller build and when playing seated in the classical position (yes, that's how I learned) the upper bout's contoured edge digs into the chest. After a while, you may find yourself looking for a cloth to drape over that edge to provide cushion.The reverb effects are over-the-top and not terribly useful. The chorus is nice, but I wish I could tweak the depth/speed on it.Finally and sadly, I'm discovering it hungrily eats batteries (AA), or at any rate it signals "low-power" after only about 5-6 hours of playing.The case is okay, just large enough to accommodate the instrument but not much else.I got mine used and it was a good price. I'm glad I own this, but I'd be disappointed had I paid full price.With improvement, this could be a gigging instrument, but in this edition, it is a fun travel/practice instrument.

After touring with a full-size acoustic guitar for so long, and having to do too many fly-dates with it, I had to either accept that at some point I was going to wind up with a case full of splinters, or find a better alternative. The silent guitar is that alternative. It plays and sounds great. Would I record with it over my good dreadnought? No, but live through a PA it sounds fantastic. The on-board effects and tuner are decent. Nothing fantastic, but do the job if needed. It loses a star, however, because the strap buttons (which also double as the top frame set-screws) tend to loosen when using a strap. I'll have to find a way to keep that from happening in the future. Otherwise, though, this is my new touring acoustic, and I will accept the small infractions ... MoreAfter touring with a full-size acoustic guitar for so long, and having to do too many fly-dates with it, I had to either accept that at some point I was going to wind up with a case full of splinters, or find a better alternative.

The SLG200S puts great acoustic tone out the monitors. I took to this instrument immediately. It felt like an old friend right out of the box. It is gorgeous (natural finish) in person and sounds amazing. An excellent choice in a silent acoustic where you can hear (w/o phones) while tracking any effects or processing you may use or just straight through. The SRT system combined with the pezo works wonderfully. I prefer the onboard SRT sound to a fishman aura or other imaging pedals I have used. Also-I'd never heard an acoustic guitar blasting through my cranked JMP2204 or dsl50, but WOW! and no feedback! BRAVO! and Thank You to Sam Ash for a great deal shipped fast and secure.

I had been wanting to purchase a silent guitar for several years. Visiting Sam Ash store, there was one that caught my eye, so I purchased it. It was a great investment. It plays great, looks great on the wall displayed with my other guitars and Sam Ash had a great deal on the price.
I unzipped the instrument case and retrieved what looked like an archer's bow and a baseball bat. I was worried, as I'm not the handiest of men around the house, but I locked the two pieces together without reaching for the manual. My better half on the sofa stopped reading her book, and looked up.It was a guitar. Except there was no soundhole or body. Striking in appearance, it was like something you'd see hanging in an art museum, with graceful, flowing, seductive lines. And sort of woodsy, too.This definitely caught the attention of the pretty woman on the sofa who said it looked 'velvety' and struck her as 'tactile'. I had to look up that word after she went to bed. But the dictionary defines 'tactile' as "having a surface that is pleasant or attractive to ... MoreI unzipped the instrument case and retrieved what looked like an archer's bow and a baseball bat.

I had to look up that word after she went to bed. But the dictionary defines 'tactile' as "having a surface that is pleasant or attractive to the touch". And I thought, one word, you nailed it.OK, so let's talk about this amazing instrument. Namely, the steel string SLG200S Yamaha Silent Guitar in natural wood finish. First of all, it really is beautiful. If you heed my review before you head to a music store, be sure bring along your earbuds. If you don't plug in to the guitar's built in electronics with two different adjustable reverbs and chorus - you're really missing out on what this guitar can do.The first thing you'll notice is how impressively quiet the guitar's electronics are, thanks to Yamaha's luscious SRT sound system. With headphones, it's like you're in a private concert hall with incredible acoustics, where every little nuance of your playing can be heard.Adjust volume, bass, treble, select a reverb and adjust whether you want the built in under saddle pickup or the simulated microphone, or a blend. In short, what a joy to play. The mahogany neck is fast, and to me, feels better in the palm of my hand than a $5K D28.The silky rosewood fingerboard is perfection. The maple and rosewood used in the frame is gorgeously smooth with Ferrari-like lines.Review continued in 'Service/Delivery Comments..
I love this guitar. Deep rich sound blows me away. It's also light. To really see, tap on the link below where John Kelly is playing it in concert to his song Red Shoes. That will say it all. The title if the video is "Kelly Family / Red Shoes. The sound simply blows me away, and it's really fun to play.
I thought she'd kill me when another guitar or banjo came in. As for sound and portability here are my thoughts. The thing is a solid body instrument trying to sound like a hollow body acoustic. It comes very very close to doing that. It comes close to matching the Yamaha Trans-Acoustics, both into headphones or an amp. Its a bit heavier than the Martin Backpacker or Chinese versions. Lest heavy and smallest wound be the Traveler Guitar but this one sounds more electric that acoustic. The Voyage Air folding guitars sound great as acoustics, but still bulky when folded. Its great for silent or small venues and lots of fun. Just have reasonable expectation as it is not a full size dreadnought.
A friend has the previous "Silent" (steel string) guitar. I thought it was a fun toy, but didn't quite take to it at the time. I finally got around to watching a YouTube video for the SLG200S, and instantly wanted one.As received out of the box, the fit and finish were decent. The neck is really pretty good. The frets were well-dressed and finished, but there were two things I couldn't let pass: (1) the cheap plastic nut and saddle, and (2) the first and third frets were high. Also, the nut had the 1st-fret spacing at 0.050", which is way too high for me, at least. I didn't want to modify a brand-new guitar, (for obvious reasons) but since I had no reason to believe a different guitar would be any better, I decided to fix it. I made a bone nut for it from a ... MoreA friend has the previous "Silent" (steel string) guitar. I thought it was a fun toy, but didn't quite take to it at the time.

Also, the nut had the 1st-fret spacing at 0.050", which is way too high for me, at least. I didn't want to modify a brand-new guitar, (for obvious reasons) but since I had no reason to believe a different guitar would be any better, I decided to fix it. I made a bone nut for it from a pre-shaped blank, and slotted it initially for 0.030". I fixed the 1st and 3rd frets, but haven't as yet replaced the plastic saddle. (my bone blanks are a little short, but I do have a compensated Tusk saddle that will work with some machining)Now we get to the good part. After the initial fixes, setup work and a set of D'Addario 12-53 Phosphor Bronze strings, this little guy plays like a dream! The intonation is spot-on, and I love the sound. It doesn't sound at all like my Taylor 918e, (what does) but it has a beautiful tone of its own. Accurate, clean, very pleasing. After initial stretching, it took about 15 minutes for the strings to settle down. Since then it stays in tune amazingly well. I'm as fussy as it gets about intonation and tune, and the SLG200 gets the gold star.The built-in effects are nice. Both reverbs sound good, although it would be nice to be able to crank them back a bit. If I record the SLG200S I probably won't use the built-in effects. The electronics aren't dead quiet, but the hiss is down far enough that it would only bother me when recording very quiet passages at high gain - something I do only occasionally. You wouldn't even notice it in a live gig.Great sound and value.
Five stars is for Sam Ash - guitar exactly as advertised, delivered quickly. The Silent Guitar is great for learning and practicing without disturbing anyone. Their acoustic modeling system is way better than anyone else's and sounds reasonably like the real thing. Be a guitar hero and play along with your favorites. I even use it to work out bass patterns on the lower 5 strings.
I'm using this guitar as a practice guitar but it is turning out to be much more! I have fourteen quality guitars and this is now the fifteenth quality guitar. Yamaha has been wonderful to work with. I've made a few changes to the original configuration to suit my desired playing.
