The Yamaha SLG200S Silent Guitar could very well be the perfect instrument for practice, travel or stage use - any time an acoustic guitar just won’t do. Stuart Shields takes a closer look at this unique instrument.

I used this in my vlog recordings. Uploaded a demo & review of this. Perfect guitar.
I have this guitar. Had it 3 years. Its a great reliable gigging guitar in every sense. Nice to play too. Only gripe is the jack input is not in a comfortable place for me personally...I keep catching it. solved it by using Xvive wireless system but normal leads are a problem for me on this. Otherwise a bargain indeed and great work/job from Yamaha
Thanks for the review! It would have been nice to hear the guitar being played without any amplification, just to get an idea about how silent it really is. It could have easily fit before or after all the settings of piezo/thingy and reverb/chorus.
I have had it for years. Same as an unplugged electric guitar. I just did maintenance on it after many years of service. It has held together well considering the abuse I put it through......flights, hot, cold, etc, etc.
@@johnstitt2615 so then what makes this better than a glorified electric guitar with a fancy name?
@@nwesterbeckmaster The fact that it sounds like an acoustic? Even an electric with piezo pickups doesn't sound as close to a real acoustic as this.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE so then what does an electric acoustic sound like?
@@nwesterbeckmaster Like an acoustic, but it's not quiet like this guitar.
It looks so much better now. I have the older version and this makes me want to upgrade.
You managed to bring out the sweetness of the instrument. I almost wrote this model off after listening to another review
I have an earlier version of the steel string and nylon string models, brilliant, the built in effects are excellent, just noodling through earphones is great also. Thus look a good upgrade, will have to try it out.
the upgraded one (slg200 vs slg100) uses AA batteries instead of 9V, which is awesome!
Gorgeous! But, if it was me, for a travel guitar I'd lose the headstock and put the tuning gears below the bridge like an Erlewine Lazer. Save half a foot on the length.
Why?! 🙉 It's not good idea! In my opinion the Yamaha guiter will be simply... ugly! 😢
I could hear it.
No one shows how it sounds without amp.
Good joke. Haha.
And if it's not a joke. SLG200S means SL means silent, and g means guitar
Silent means you can practice beside a sleeping baby without waking it up from playing bad

Desmond Miles not true my guy. Sounds a little louder than an electric unplugged
It's not as loud as a hollow bodied but still louder than a solid. The earbuds are of excellent quality when you don't want to play through an amp or don't own one(I don't yet)
...very happy with this guitar.
I know, right! 🤣
Love it and consider buying one. But it's years old model, new model soon available - what's your guys guess?
What's the difference between 200S and 220S?
The difference is one existing the other does not
Great review! Getting my SLG200S today. Can't wait to practice discretely and be able to record my sessions without that annoying feedback. I installed an acoustic pickup on my Martin HD-28 and nearly lost my mind when the guitar started to vibrate out of control. Scary stuff. Thank you.
So does the guitar have to be plugged into an amp to be heard?
Great Demo - Thank You
Is that the raw DI or are you running it through an acoustic amp?
Is the SRT system worth buying the 200 version over the 100? Thanks.
I have a question about this guitar that I’m hoping someone can answer. When I play, I rest the pinky of my right hand on the edge of the sound hole. Is there enough room below the strings on this guitar to do that?
Michael Barr on the plate
what are the equipment to get such a sound please thanks
Can you play metal on it?
Ulrich Robert Musil If that’s a serious question, the answer would be yes. I’ve been using it in my band on covers that have acoustic passages but also require electric with distortion. Check out my live cover of Carry On Wayward Son. It’s not metal, but it’s definitely an overdriven rock tone using this very guitar!! 🤘😜
@@geraldhartley is there a built in distortion option?
tae smellsbad No there is not. It’s meant to be a wonderful sounding acoustic guitar. It has reverb and chorus built in, but that’s it. If you want to use distortion, just run it through an overdrive pedal or amp! 🤘😎
@@geraldhartley thanks
3:21 hol' up, what?
My wife’s boyfriend gets pissed when I play guitar late at night so this is perfect for me
hi, did you use a preamp before audio interface?
i cant decide between this slg200s and FS-TA...
if you need to practice/play late night or can't make too much noise, slg200s is for you. you can also fold the slg200 for easier travelling (I've done it on a plane but I stuffed so much bubble wraps in the case just for insurance.
but i would definitely want to use the FS-TA in a live performance for that nice real reverb tune or for an outing... that sound is SO RICH.
Or check out the Lava Me series. I was close to getting a TA until I chanced upon the Lava Me reviewed by Guitarist Songwriter Mary Spender and was instantly sold.
Can you tell me how well this guitar would handle alternate tunings?
I regularly use open G , no probs
Does someone know which is the original factory string gauge? please.
Hey, according to Yamaha's official website (usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/silent_guitar/slg200_series/specs.html#product-tabs near the bottom) the original factory strings are either D'Addario EXP11 (0.012-0.53) or Yamaha FS50BT (0.012-0.52).
@@user-jj9gi1ci5nThank you very much.
@@flippedmep8267 You're welcome. Have a good day & God bless!
3 years on and the title is still wrong isnt it? There is no. SLG220s?
Can you use nylon strings with it?
There is a nylon string version (slg200n)
what is the first sing??
Why advertise 220 ?
is it SLG220S or SLG200S?
I think he meant 200
Brutal saludos desde Colombia
Crees que esa guitarra puedes tocarla con cuerdas de nylon
Hay otro modelo con cuerdas nylon SLG200N (N de nylon en vez de S de steel
lá creatividad nipona me deja asombrado lá irradiaciom atômica que lanzaron los yankies a demas de producir tantos muertos genero imaginácion y crratividad.
ÿeah great solution for 800.-
....
esta guitarra costaba 535 euros hoy supera los 815 euros no pienso pagar el incremento de precio. maden china
I kind of imagine with the double a batteries though that if you're using the acoustic a lot more you probably go through more double a batteries than you would a 9 volt. 9 volts in the guitar like that have a pretty decent life expectancy
Most of us who play shows go through the same amount of batteries no matter what kind they are because you put in fresh batteries for EVERY show no matter what. It sucks because this almost certainly isn't necessary, but I've never encountered a player who takes the chance of old batteries during a gig.
Did u mean 220? And not 200!
wait, Yamaha SLG220S?
RightBacklinks exactly, I thought it was a new version, but it’s just a typo.
SLG220S is the steel string version. SLG220N is the nylon string version
It’s click bait … lol
Any guitar can be made silent. What's the point of these guitars.?
Acoustic guitars are much louder... a good 80-85%. So if you want to practice acoustic without bothering your girlfriend or neighbors... then you get it.
Good for travel practice, as the 'body' disassembles and it still has a normal scale length/string spacing. For people that move around a lot for work or school I imagine it's pretty handy, but otherwise it's not massively useful. It's the only reason I'm looking at one myself, as it seems like a great solution for working away from home without annoying other hotel goers/roommates without having to worry about the bulk of an acoustic or the weight of an electric.
220 not huh 🤔
Wow !! Totally bitchen guitar !! Thanks !
I've never heard that sound
If the electronics dies, the guitar dies. LOL
Just like an electric. "LOL".... If something breaks you fix it or get it repaired...
That guitar sound nice, Yamaha has did a good job, yet fender surprise us all with a sweet guitar, the acoustasonic telecaster, price is rich, almost too sweet, we must turn in to diabetes, lol, over all I like it, hope it ain't to rich for me,
Umm... It has a body, but it's lacking the top and back.
Sniper! 😅
I was not looking at the guitar lol
Feo sonido demaciado chillon
Bit too expensive for me.
I get one now. Need a silent guitar. Found this video that shows how silent it is th-cam.com/video/1pXbRVoQDCI/w-d-xo.html
I was the 420th person to like this vid.........lol
Its not silent! A stupid name given by Yamaha.
Hmmm, another guy from a magazine who knows plenty of UFO chords,including some that have 5 notes, and he cannot play a damned thing. Too bad, I'd really like to hear this thing imitate a real acoustic.
I don't want a silent guitar! I want to hear true sound not simulation! I'll keep my acoustic electric nylon string.Phillip Austin
So why are you watching and commenting on this video? This is a niche product for a niche market. I don't want a Gretsch, but I'm not going to go onto a video of a Gretsch and post "I don't want a Gretsch guitar!"...
Good for you bro
