Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the SLG body and modelled 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 guitarright down to its natural sustain and decayYamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance, body tone and ambience of an acoustic guitar. 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.

The Yamaha SLG200N Nylon String Silent Guitar in Natural is a revolutionary instrument designed for classical guitarists who seek the flexibility of quiet practice, portability, and top-notch sound quality. Part of Yamaha’s Silent Guitar series, this model combines the tradition of classical nylon-string playability with modern technology, making it perfect for players who need an ultra-portable solution without sacrificing tone and feel.

The SLG200N is engineered to deliver an authentic acoustic experience while providing a unique and innovative silent performance, whether practicing at home, on the go, or performing on stage. Its slim, lightweight body and detachable frame make it a convenient choice for travel, while its state-of-the-art electronics ensure exceptional sound when amplified.

The SLG200N features a slim body constructed from mahogany with a detachable rosewood/maple frame. The detachable design allows for easy transport and storage, and the overall lightweight structure makes it incredibly portable. Despite its unconventional look, Yamaha has carefully maintained the neck width, scale length, and overall playability of a traditional classical guitar, ensuring it feels familiar to experienced classical guitarists.

The slimline body also minimizes feedback when playing amplified, making it a great option for live performance. Its natural finish gives it an understated yet elegant look, while the detachable frame gives it a modern, futuristic aesthetic.

The standout feature of the Yamaha SLG200N is its silent design, making it perfect for practice in environments where discretion is necessary, like apartments, hotel rooms, or late-night sessions. Plugging in a pair of headphones allows you to hear yourself without projecting any sound into the environment, enabling truly silent practice.

Unlike conventional acoustic guitars, which rely on a resonant body to produce sound, the SLG200N uses advanced electronics to reproduce a rich, natural guitar sound that the player can hear through headphones or an amplifier. This makes it perfect for situations where full-volume practice isn’t possible.

Yamaha has incorporated its Studio Response Technology (SRT) Powered System, designed to replicate the natural, resonant sound of a traditional acoustic guitar. This innovative technology simulates the sonic characteristics of a classical guitar body, allowing the SLG200N to sound authentic and rich despite its unconventional structure.

SRT provides a realistic and warm tone that blends studio-quality sound with the playability of a nylon-string guitar. When plugged into an amplifier or PA system, the SLG200N delivers a natural acoustic tone that responds dynamically to your playing style, making it ideal for both live performance and recording.
