For the Guitarist on the Go

The Yamaha SLG200S Silent Steel-string Guitar solves so many problems for guitarists that it is a must-have in your collection. It's easy to throw over your shoulder when you're traveling, and its minimalist body virtually eliminates the feedback problems that often plague acoustic guitars when you're performing live. Whether practicing at home, on a fly-gig, or recording, you owe it to yourself to find out what the Yamaha SLG200S Silent Guitar can do for you.

Travel with ease

With the SLG200S, Yamaha has solved a headache traveling guitarists have always had to deal with: finding space for your instrument. Acoustic guitars, because of their bulk, are especially problematic. The SLG200S's slim body breaks down to fit in its included compact gig bag. It will easily fit in the overhead compartment on your flight, under the seat in the band van, or anywhere else it needs to.

Play silently with big-guitar tone

Guitarists at Sweetwater have been in situations where we struggle to get a good sound from our instruments because of having to practice quietly, or even silently. We imagine you have, too. But with the SLG200S, just plug in your headphones and you'll hear studio-quality, miked acoustic-guitar tone, courtesy of Yamaha's SRT Powered pickup and preamp system. You can blend that signal with the included under-saddle pickup. You also get great reverbs and chorus to further tailor your tone.

Great live acoustic sound with none of the feedback

Another benefit of the powerful SRT Powered pickup system in the SLG200S is what it brings to your live performances. By using the onboard effects and SRT Powered system, you'll send the same miked-up guitar sound to your audience that you hear when practicing. Without a large acoustic body resonating from loud stage volume, feedback is a nonissue. You can move freely around the stage with full confidence that your audience is hearing exactly what you hear.

Yamaha SLG200S Silent Steel-string Guitar Features:

  • Hybrid Steel-string guitar with Yamaha pickup and preamp system
  • Detachable design breaks the guitar down for easy travel
  • SRT Powered pickup system blends in studio-miked acoustic tone
  • Headphone input for silent playing and listening
  • Aux input allows you to play along with your music
  • Onboard tuner
  • Minimalist solidbody engineering avoids feedback
  • Natural acoustic guitar feel
  • Gig bag included

My wife says it’s not silent

I purchased this as a travel guitar, I have other guitars but nothing as light and compact as this. Looks cool, or odd, take your pick but this is a great guitar. First the wood, beautiful and lustrous is how I would describe it, and under the hood there is nice effects to liven up your playing time.
The rosewood fretboard feels great and looks as good as it feels.
The guitar arrived perfectly set up, action was great and intonation was spot on. Yamaha did themselves proud with this instrument.
Sweetwater makes sure when you get your guitar it is well packaged and safe from harm while being shipped to its customers.

Love this guitar and love Sweetwater, what's not to love…

Awesome guitar for the money.

Bought my SLG2000S from Sweetwayer after a friend told me about his. Decided to go with steel string model. Love the guitar and how it plays, nice neck and action. Sweetwater did a great job answering my questions and inspecting the guitar prior to shipment. Just bought a portable amp from Sweetwater to complement the guitar and use also with my Takimine. You can't go wrong with this guitar!
Music background: Self taught and striving to continually improve technique and skill level.

You won't find a better travel guitar

I travel for work so I needed a practice guitar that is (1) balanced and comfortable to play, (2) full scale length, (3) easily transportable, (4) quiet enough to play/practice with in a hotel room without disturbing other guest, and (5) sounds good. This guitar does all of that and so much more.

I put balanced and fun to play 1st on my list for a reason, I tried several other travel guitars before buying this one and none of them come close to matching the Yamaha SLG200S for balance and playability. I am in my late 1st year of learning to play and all the other travel guitars I tried are so light and unbalanced that I dreaded practicing with them and when practicing with any of my other guitars I really enjoy my practice time. My wife thinks I am obsesses with learning guitar but I just really enjoy this learning guitar journey and typically practice a couple hours/day.

I have found the built in electronics to be great, the placement of the connection ports and controls is well thought out and everything about this guitar makes it the perfect travel/practice guitar for me. It is also beautiful to look at.

A couple more key things I love about it (1) the width of the saddle is the same as my full size Taylors, which makes practicing finger style so much more comfortable than the other travel guitars I purchased, they were 1/4" narrower at the saddle (2) being able to plug in my phone/tablet to the guitar and run practice routines and backing tracks directly through the guitar to my headphones without any Bluetooth lag.

I can't recommend this guitar enough, my only regret is not buying it when I first started learning guitar.
