Choose the width that best fits your playing style
The SLG100N with its narrow fingerboard (50mm at the nut) and low string action is best suited for the contemporary guitarist. The SLG100NW provides traditional playability for the discerning classical guitarist with a slightly wider 52mm nut width and standard string height.
Sound and control
The Steel String Silent Guitar utilizes the Ribbon Transducer-system by L.R. Baggs mounted underneath the instrument’s saddle. Well suited for steel stringed instruments, this advanced pickup system delivers a tone that is open and pure.
The nylon stringed SLG100N and SLG100NW utilize a B-Band pickup system installed beneath the instrument’s bridge. This high performance system allows both instruments to deliver rich, full-bodied nylon string tone and excellent response.
On all three instruments, you’ll find bass and treble tone controls that are conveniently mounted on the body for easy access and deliver total control of the guitar’s tone. And feedback is no longer a worry when performing live with a sound system since these are solid body instruments that use no microphones.
Silent design makes it perfect for home use or practice
Compared with a normal acoustic 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 make it great for playing anytime or anywhere.
Built-in DSP effect adds the richness of reverb
The Silent Guitar is equipped with a built-in DSP effects processor that’s designed by Yamaha. This circuit offers two types of reverb that, when activated, envelopes the warm tone of the Silent Guitar with rich reverb that will give you and your listeners the realistic impression that you are performing on the stage of a concert hall. You’ll be amazed at the emotion and inspiration that this feature brings to your playing.
AUX IN lets you play along with your favourite recordings
Connect a CD or cassette player, etc. to the AUX IN jack and play along with your favourite recordings. This feature is a great way to improve your playing quickly. An AUX volume control offers greater control over sound balance.
Detachable frame offers comfort and easy transport
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.
