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 Amazon 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.

This guitar is SO much fun to pop the included headphones in and practice with. Yamaha electronics are very accurate and you ARE actually hearing a full bodied guitar in the mic modeling mode. Fantastic. The blend with the piezo makes it way better than the first iteration of the instrument I previously owned - as well as the onboard tuner. The other differences between this version and the last: longer lasting AA battery usage (the old one ate 9v like crazy) and new effects controls. The previous version had ONLY detents, ie., one setting for each effect. On this version the effects are sweeping so you can dial in just the right amount of the effect you want. Also, it may just be my imagination, but I think the neck is a little differently shaped than the old - and I like this one better. The frame is a much better version of the old as well. Plugged in, there are adjustments to be made (as with every guitar), but very fun to play live on stage and easy to carry along. The only con doesn't have to do with the guitar at all, but the description. It is NOT a hard-side bad. A hard-side bag has plastic inserts that keep the bag from bending at all. This is a soft bag. That being said, the bag is thick and is fine for the job. Also, it is NOT "translucent black". There is simply a piece of black plastic that covers the wooden center of the instrument. It looks great - but not as great as a piece of wood stained in a translucent finish.

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.
