The Silent Guitar series from Yamaha are unique guitars that bring together Yamaha’s knowledge and experience in the making of quality guitars together with its innovative design and quality electronics. As a member of the “Silent” family, the SLG100S is a great instrument for those times when you’d like to practice privately. But more than that, this steel string Silent Guitar offers great versatility, being just as at home in the studio or on stage as it is in your living room or dorm room. It also makes a great travel companion as its detachable frame lets the entire instrument fit into a compact carrying case that’s easy to transport.Classic or Latin style guitarists will prefer the nylon string version, the SLG100N. This instrument is designed with a slightly wider neck to accommodate the difference in playing style, and like the steel string SLG100S can be used to perform with or for practice.
Both Yamaha Silent Guitars feature modern designs with mahogany necks and rosewood fingerboards on lightweight maple bodies. Proprietary Yamaha electronics are matched with advanced pickup systems that have been chosen to deliver the utmost in realistic tone from each of these instruments. While headphones allow for private practice, both instruments can be plugged into an amplifier or a sound system for live performance. A built-in DSP effects processor lets you add the warmth of reverb to the guitar’s sound without having to plug into any outboard processing gear or effects.
The solid body design of the Silent Guitar lets you turn up the volume without the worry of annoying feedback when performing live. And when it’s time to move on, the composite body quickly breaks down and fits into a compact case for easy transport.
