Designed for discreet practice and versatile performance, it incorporates Yamaha’s exclusive SRT-powered pickup system for authentic acoustic tone through headphones or amps. With near-silent playability, built-in effects, and seamless aux and line-out connectivity, it’s perfect for travel, practice, and stage use—all packed in a protective hard gig bag. ## Description From the manufacturer Yamaha SLG Silent Guitars The SLG is the perfect instrument for practice, travel or stage use – any time an acoustic guitar just won’t do. Near-silent performance makes discrete practice simple, Yamaha’s exclusive SRT-Powered pickup system gives incredibly natural acoustic tone through headphones or line-out, studio-quality on-board effects enhance your playing to perfection, line-in functionality makes jamming easy. Coupled with unique, striking looks and a rosewood and maple framed full-size collapsible body SLG lets you play whenever and wherever inspiration hits. SRT Powered Technology SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modeled after the tones of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio environment. By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar—right down to its natural sustain and decay—Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance and tone of an acoustic guitar, while avoiding the need for a microphone when recording. SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors. Playability The slim body of the SLG gives these instruments superb playability, and allows players to switch to playing an electric guitar without any discomfort should the need arise. Portability The detachable top section of SLG’s frame provides practicality and portability beyond that of a conventional guitar. The luxury gigbag provided can be carried with ease and fits into an aircraft overhead compartment with room to spare. Design The distinctive SLG design is the result of a collaborative effort between the project team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory, and combines traditional guitar lines with an innovative new form unlike that of any guitar before it. Silence The bodiless design of the SLG offers a natural, quiet sound that allows guitarists to play without disturbing others, whether practicing late at night or playing in the living room when the family is home. Th SLG200S is 80% quieter than an acoustic guitar. Review: Amazing Guitar: Good For Travel, Practice AND Performance - I got the Yamaha SLG200N (nylon string) Silent Guitar primarily as a travel guitar after reading and watching several reviews of the other options out there. I only considered those travel guitars that have a full 650-654 mm scale length. I was initially put off by the slightly larger size of the SLG200N guitar relative to some really compact travel guitars but the reviews both from customers and from professional reviewers (e.g. Classical Guitar Magazine [...]) convinced me that the larger size was worth the risk considering the poor reviews of my other options and the excellent reviews of the SLG. I am very glad I went with this guitar. The feel is great and the string dimensions almost exactly match my primary nylon guitar which is a custom Juan Miguel Carmona flamenco/classical (mixta) guitar I got in Granada, Spain. Scale length is slightly shorter in the SLG (650 mm) compared to the mixta (654 mm) and the nut width of the SLG (50 mm) is off by only a mm compared to my mixta (51 mm). I know that a full traditional classical has a nut width typically around 52-53 mm but for me, the 1 mm difference is really not an issue. Frankly, it forces me to really think about proper left hand finger placement which is good for my practicing anyway. I would think a full classical player would feel the same. OK. On to the sound. The sound is amazing. However, the sound of the stock guitar as shipped was quite poor. It was WAY too strong on the bass end. I had to turn the bass knob of the guitar down to its minimum setting and max out the treble and that was barely workable. I was going to return it (thinking the piezo pickup was messed up) when I called up GearTree and they were very helpful. The key is to get the saddle piece to have uniform contact with the piezo right underneath. Also, getting high tension strings to add brightness to the sound and to get the treble strings to have a good vibration signal to transfer to the piezo completely changed the sound. Bottom line: replace the strings when you first get the guitar and make sure the piezo and the saddle make uniform contact. The real benefit comes when you are playing and you can adjust the pure piezo signal with the Yamaha advanced classical guitar modeling signal for a tone surprisingly nice for a solid body “travel” guitar. For practicing (using the headphone output), you can also feed in an input from your iPhone/MP3 player via the AUX jack. For performance (yes, performance), you can plug into an amp via the “Strat-like” jack and you also have a wickedly cool looking guitar. Add in an on-board chromatic tuner and you have one amazing and surprisingly versatile guitar for practice AND (amazingly enough) for performance as well. Note: a proper recital still demands your best classical guitar but for a gig at a club or wine bar, etc., this could work out quite nicely. And finally, as I mentioned above, BIG callout to the folks at GearTree - absolutely fantastic customer service. They emailed me directly about my shipment (in addition to the auto emails) AND added in a guitar stand and headphones even though the package I bought didn’t include them. They did that since other competitor desertcart sellers were making these fancy bundles. I just had to ask. Wow… Bottom line: 5 stars (with the right strings) and get the Tobacco Sunburst version - it's beautiful. Review: Quite Pleased with this Guitar - The SLG200N TBS arrived safely from Zorro Sounds, even though it was shipped in the stock guitar box, not double boxed, and had no packing other than the little piece of hard foam that Yamaha puts in there. The box had some dents and creases and I was skeptical, not only about the instrument, but half expecting shipping damage, a kink, defect, or something. All is well. In fact, I am quite impressed with the guitar, but not with the cavalier approach to shipping it. The SLG200N TBS is lightweight, 4.3 pounds (my old classical guitar is 3.5 pounds), and comfortable to hold; first fret not too far away for my small frame and small fingers. The action out of the box is a bit higher than my old guitar, but my old guitar is probably too low; fingerboard width is about the same - 50mm, and it's flat, probably the only shortcoming to playability for those used to a non-classical, but I knew that going in, and it's fine, since my old guitar is flat. The wood and the finish is first rate, very nice looking, better than the photos. The sound: well, unlike the discontinued SLG130N, this one has "mic", which allows you to blend the piezo pickup with whatever "mic" is, not sure if it's modeling or sampling, or an actual microphone, but it provides that authentic woody sound, less defined than the "pluck" of the piezo, so blended it has resonance and air, add a touch of the built in reverb and you're in a small hall or a chapel, very pleasant, stayed there for over an hour on my first visit. Too much reverb or the chorus sounds unnaturally processed. The built in tuner works fine, but cuts the audio output when tuning. It runs a long time on 2 AAs, has line out, aux in (for playing along with mp3s or whatever), headphone out (only tried with my MEE Pro in ear monitors, and no hiss, nothing, until you touch or pluck a string). The gig bag is well-designed, thick material, but has minimal padding. All in all, I'm quite pleased, and feel good about owning it, knowing that I can't fault the guitar for my shortcomings. And, I really like that I can practice ad nauseam without inflicting it upon someone else's ears. I've acquired a cache of books, basic classical, theory, and dozens of chord-melody charts for standards, traditional, and some of the easier classical pieces, so plenty to keep me busy through the winter. So, now after 2 hours at the piano, when I can't sit up any longer, I can put on my headphones and transport to a little chapel in the English countryside and pluck on my new friend. ## Features - Nylon Strings, Tobacco Sunburst Finish - The SLG is the perfect instrument for practice, travel or stage use – any time an acoustic guitar just won’t do. - Near-silent performance makes discrete practice simple - Yamaha’s exclusive SRT-Powered pickup system gives incredibly natural acoustic tone through headphones or line-out - Studio-quality on-board effects enhance your playing to perfectio and line-in functionality makes jamming easy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0130W0FM2 | | Back Material Type | Mahoganny | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,126 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #58 in Classical & Nylon-String Guitars #339 in Acoustic Guitars | | Body Material | Mahoganny | | Body Material Type | Mahoganny | | Brand | Yamaha | | Brand Name | Yamaha | | Color | Tobacco Sunburst | | Connector Type | 3.5mm Audio Jack, DC Power Input | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 132 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | Guitar Bridge System | Rosewood | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Piezoelectric | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Original Carry Bag, Stereo Earphones, 2 * AA Batteries | | Instrument | guitar | | Instrument Size | 44 inches (width, length, height) | | Item Dimensions | 44 x 44 x 44 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 44"L x 44"W x 44"H | | Item Type Name | Silent Guitar | | Item Weight | 9 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Yamaha | | Manufacturer Part Number | SLG200N TBS | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | SLG200N TBS | | Model Number | SLG200N TBS | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 26 inches | | Set Name | SLG200N | | String Material Type | Nylon | | Top Material Type | ***Spruce, Maple, Koa | | UPC | 889025100571 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty yamaha corporation of america (yamaha) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into every product we represent.

I'm a professional guitarist with decades of experience. I bought the Silent Guitar a couple months ago, and at first it was just as advertised. It was great to be able to practice on the road and plug in to play for other people. Suddenly, the battery stopped working. The plastic vessel that holds the battery was not snug enough to make the connection. Because this is a "Silent" guitar, this rendered the instrument totally useless. In 2025, this design should be updated to an internal power supply that is USB rechargeable, rather than relying on 2 AAA batteries. I contacted Yamaha for warranty service, and was told that Yamaha doesn't have a location that does warranty work anywhere close to where I live. I live in New York CIty. Next, Dan from Yamaha Customer Service sent me to Guitar Center, where the man at the desk was literally sleeping when I approached him, and he told me that Guitar Center does not do warranty work. I reported this back to Dan, and he suggested I send the guitar to California for warranty work. I asked to be sent a box in order to ship the guitar to California, as the Silent Guitar is a very odd shape. Dan replied that he needed to ask his supervisor. I just heard back with this message: Stephen, After conferring with my supervisor, regrettably we are unable to provide packaging materials for the shipment. I do apologize for the inconvenience, and let me know if you have any other questions. All the best, Dan Yamaha Customer Support So now, my $750 purchase is unusable, and I don't know if I have any recourse. I'm going to send this review to Dan at Yamaha, and I'll let you know (by updating this review) if that makes any difference. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha SLG200N TBS Nylon String Silent Guitar with Hard Gig Bag, Tobacco Sunburst - WINGO Guitar Capo for Acoustic and Electric Guitars - Rosewood Color with 5 Picks - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19935493-yamaha-slg200n-tbs-nylon-string-silent-guitar-with-hard-gig](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19935493-yamaha-slg200n-tbs-nylon-string-silent-guitar-with-hard-gig) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
