High-tech Nylon-string Guitar Combines Performance and Beauty
The SLG200NW is the latest in Yamaha's groundbreaking line of "silent" guitars; this version is designed just for classical guitarists. The 2-1/16" nut provides that classical guitar feel, and the guitar's top section detaches and stows in the included gig bag — making it fit easily in an overhead compartment. Convenient and yet authentic, this guitar exhibits Yamaha's SRT powered system, developed to reproduce the sounds of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar. You also get a built-in chromatic tuner, onboard effects, aux in, and headphone output. With its mahogany body and neck, rosewood frame, and ebony fingerboard, the Yamaha SLG200NW is as beautiful as it is functional and travel-ready.

The SRT pickup system
When producing a classical sound, crystal-clear tonal accuracy is vital. The Studio Response Technology pickup system focuses on the individual strings to offer an extensive bandwidth signal. This results in a tone which has incredible clarity; it is smooth, angelic and offers the transparency and precision of a classical guitar. Going one step further than a traditional classical guitar, the SRT preamp system allows you to adjust your sound to suit you. The volume, bass, treble, and reverb effects offer amazing tone shaping capabilities that will make your sound stand out from anyone else’s.

Innovative design meets acoustic sound
Striking. Distinctive. Modern. But with a natural sound. The guitar combines the contours of an acoustic guitar with contemporary design, and this has created a visually stunning instrument. It is the result of a collaboration between the project team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory who designed the guitar meticulously, making sure to include the benefits of a traditional shape whilst showcasing a modern edge. One of the most compelling features is the wide neck, which has a 52mm nut width. This reflects a classical guitar neck and provides guitarists who favour this playing style the means to perform classical techniques but with a visually modern style.

Whilst the design is undoubtedly unique, the woods it is crafted from offer tonal qualities reminiscent to those of a classical guitar. The mahogany body and neck bring warmth and depth to the tone, whilst the ebony fretboard offers a brightness that enhances the higher frequencies – it is a wonderfully organic sound in a remarkable package.

Play comfortably anywhere, at any time
With its ultra-slim body, the Yamaha SLG200NW is a guitar you can play with complete ease. The thin design means you have an abundance of space – you can play freely without any hindrance. The cutaway of the body also means you can reach the higher frets easily, a welcome feature for any classical player. Better still, this guitar is 80 percent quieter than the conventional acoustic guitar, meaning you can play at any time of day. Use the headphone jack and have the same playing experience you would have if you were rehearsing out loud, whilst the 22-hour battery life means you have extensive time to play. The possibilities with this guitar are endless, and its versatility means you can play just about anything.
