Yamaha SLG200S Silent - Natural Review

Great practice guitar.

I love this guitar for practice. It feels good and looks interesting. I can sit in the bed room and not disturb anyone in the house, or sit on the porch and play without the neighbors hearing me. I normally play without amplification, but when using headphones it sounds like a real guitar. This is THE guitar for travel, and it also records well. One added bonus, it tends NOT to… read more feedback on stage. A side effect of not having a resonant body. If you play acoustic on stage and have trouble with feedback you may want to give this a try. Mine is the steel string version and it holds tune very well. I can practice with it, put it away, pull it out a month later, and it is still in tune. This is a quality guitar.

Great way to travel and even stay at home

This electronic marvel does it all! Great tone, voices, built in tuner and fingerboard action! Don't leave home without it!

Somewhat surprised

Reading the reviews on this from multiple sources... I felt it would be good. Travelling a lot; the need is for something I can take on the road and enjoy quietly. The things that surprised me are the solid construction, the ease of attaching the "rib", the overall sound and the convenient case. It's a great little instrument. The only complaint is the buttons are not as solid… read more as a McIntosh amp lol, But they work great. Love the thing. Also, to throw a bouquet; service is important and Sweetwater is unmatched... along with my sales guy Mickey, his patience and attention to detail makes the purchase an actual pleasant experience!

Outstanding acoustic guitar

This time I waited a few days to write my review and it was time well-spent. I used this new guitar with 4 sets of headphones, 4 amps, and the included earbuds. It sounds great with all! The best sound came from the Line 6 Spider V 120 combo with the acoustic amp setting. Since only one effect can be used at a time on the silent guitar, I added the other with the amp. The guitars… read more reverb is very good and with some chorus added by the amp, I was in sonic hog heaven. Tried it the other way with amp reverb and guitar chorus, and it was excellent as well. Plugging into a Roland Micro cube was the next best amp combo. The same combinations sounded great. The headphone are more dependent on the quality of the headphones' quality. The Bose and Sony headphones sounded the best, the included earbuds sounded good, but not spectacular. Good enough for late night practicing. My only 2 issues are not really issues but preferences. I need to put lighter strings on the guitar for one, entirely a preference. And my Line 6 G-10 wireless transmitter does not fit in all the way. But, an adapter fixes this issue. I love this guitar. I called it my skeleton guitar, but my friend suggested "Skeletor". I also joke that I get the rest of the guitar after I finish my payment program. If you want a great, quiet, practice guitar, that can also be used o stage without feedback, THIS IS IT!! As usual Bob Mondok took great care of me and got everything handled like the consummate professional he is. Sweetwater ROCKS!!!

Great guitar

Been playing this almost every night. I work a mid swing shift. So, there's lot's of times I need to unwind after work and this guitar works great . Quiet enough that I don't wake up the people in the other apartments, or my girlfriend if she's sleeping.
