The Yamaha SLG200N Silent nylon-string guitar is a game-changing instrument for classical guitarists. Boasting Yamaha's groundbreaking SRT Powered system, it reproduces the rich tone of a high-end acoustic nylon-string guitar with stunning realism. At the same time, its minimalist frame reduces feedback and allows for nearly silent practice, recording or performance. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, the SLG200N opens up a world of possibilities.

SRT Powered Delivers Authentic Acoustic Sound

Yamaha's SRT Powered technology recreates the resonant tone of an acoustic nylon-string guitar with meticulous accuracy. Developed in collaboration with top artists, SRT Powered models the sound of a premium Yamaha classical guitar as captured by a carefully placed mic in a professional studio. The result is a lifelike reproduction of an acoustic guitar's natural sustain, depth and ambience. SRT Powered sound can be blended with the SLG200N's piezo pickups for more tonal options in recording or performance.

Nearly Silent for Practice Anytime, Anywhere

The SLG200N's minimal frame is 90% quieter than a traditional classical guitar, letting you practice, compose or record at any hour without disturbing others. Its detachable top section and included gig bag provide superb portability for grabbing inspiration on the go. Lightweight yet durable, the SLG200N is ideal for travel or fly dates when you want to pack light without sacrificing tone.

Familiar Playability and Versatility

Classical guitarists will appreciate the SLG200N's slim neck, low action and thin body that make extended playing comfortable and agile. Its cutaway design provides easy access to higher frets. The SLG200N also features onboard chromatic tuning, battery or and the ability to connect external music players, effects or headphones. Whether you play classical, flamenco or contemporary styles, the SLG200N is a versatile, full-featured instrument that inspires creativity.

A Modern Take on Tradition

With an innovative yet elegant form, the SLG200N brings a contemporary vibe to the timeless contours of a nylon-string guitar. The result of a collaboration between Yamaha's design team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory, the SLG200N's stylish shape complements its rich, nuanced tone and high-tech functionality. Yamaha has crafted an instrument that pays homage to tradition while pioneering a new generation of classical guitars.
