So happy to see the nylon version, I've played a classical guitar for many years in all types of settings and all types of music, I'm also a Hugh Willie Nelson fan. I've been checking out this guitar for some time now I think it's time to pick one up. Thanks for the great demo

@guitargod6997 2 года назад

Honest and fine presentation of the Yamaha "silent" hybrid nylon string guitar! I love mine for sure. Classical and jazz guitarist. It is light, no feedback when amplified, the nylon strings are resonant and warm, plus you can modify the sound along a spectrum from piezo pickup to the tone from the finest Yamaha classical guitars. And you mentioned that it can be "broken down" for traveling, though I could not take it on an international flight for the overhead bin. Nice playing!

@michaelraftice1230 Год назад

Why couldn't you take it? Is the gig bag soft? I would be concerned about putting it in an overhead bin.

@climber7565 2 года назад

Thank you, Cooper, awesome demo. I would consider buying that kind of guitar. I loved the sound potential, something I could aim for.

Awesome sounding guitar and as always great playing.

@buzzstankos8532 2 года назад

Great Demo Cooper -- I've seen pix of the steel string and wondered what was going on. I agree that the nylon version is awesome and allows you to do a ton. Thanks

@kissing88 Год назад

For me, this is the winner because it appears to be the only solid-body electric nylon that actually comes with a FLAT fretboard and saddle. All the other ones on the market come with a RADIUSED fretboard which throws you off if you're used to classical guitar.

Great job on the presentation. I owned one of these for a couple years. It was really convenient for plugging in at night with headphones and using my iPad to play along with Spotify. I used it in church for soft finger pieces and it was always a conversation starter. Great tones too. I just couldn’t get past the wider neck. If it had a more narrow neck I would still have it.

@Mark_J_on_guitar Год назад

nylon nuts are 50mm (1.969) and 52mm full size. Professional presentation and great playing.

Thank you for this fantastic demo. I have my Dad's 70-year old custom Spanish guitar that I absolutely cannot take on gigs. I love playing guitar, but the frustration and hassle of dealing with EQ and feedback has always been a big demotivator... until now. Great playing, and even better analysis. Thank you!

These are awesome guitars. Any sceptics out there should try one. Id love to see an SLG- S with a slightly wider neck.

@mrjamrol Год назад

I play mine at church through a Yamaha THR30II with the Line6 wireless option. Yes it's a small building with maybe a 200-person capacity, so I get away with this setup. That said this is such a transportable solution and sounds great whether finger-picked or played with a pick. The effects are a tremendous adder and I just love that I have such control over my sound. And yes it's a great practice solution to keep the peace with the family, but it's also giggable, in case there were any doubts.

@truetech4158 Год назад

I'm writing tunes on my silent guitar. My lyrics are about thought provoking concerns, to try to get listeners to think after they hear about my home having received a threat of being set on fire by a narcissist, even though arson never really causes its victims to float off to a happy land in the sky. I have about 35 guitars now, and they would burn if many smiley willfully ignorant delusional narcissists were able to know who and where i am. What do you think, does the yamaha silent guitar get even more silent if mine ended up burnt to a crisp? What is the sound of willful ignorance, a mute button on a multi effects pedal board? Ah yes, music. Its like books. You can write lyrics about how the 9/11 hijackers sent their victims to a smiley happy place, right?

@stampscapes 5 месяцев назад

@truetech4158 Год назад

I was impressed at how the neck feels on my first edition yamaha silent guitar, though the high E string sounds alot closer to being silent when its plugged in. I may consider performing guitar bridge pickup surgery, see about adding a tiny condenser mic right behind at one quiet string. Right now, that one string requires a powerful plucking and even then its still half the volume of the other strings. This concern may or may not be an issue on later editions of the yamaha silent guitar. Has anyone else noticed this too?

@sheila2590 Год назад

Hi Cooper Is this good for a beginner to learn on? I LOVE Willie Nelson too!

@williamrodriguez5426 Год назад

How would you compare with the Cordoba Stage? I'm liking the later, but it seems this niche is gaining some traction. We will see.

Peavey lanzo hace pocos meses su nueva línea de guitarras acústicas y de guitarras con cuerdas de nylon. Me encantaría que pudieran conseguir alguna y darnos su opinion. Son guitarras del segmento de entrada y traen tapa solida de abeto. No hay muchas reseñas sobre ellas y me encantaría que ustedes pudieran hacer una reseña de las peavey delta Woods, porque son los mejores en esto 🙋🏻‍♂️. 🙏🏼

@winterokami901 Год назад

My guess is that it's just the preamp of the Fishman pickup itself being run through a direct line into the audio interface with no post-production adjustments. That would be the most fair way to demo this, and sounds pretty accurate.

@markbrannan Год назад

"I don't know why they didn't just kick it up one more 32nd of an inch" -> The reason for using 1 and 31/32 inches is pretty reasonable: nut widths, wood widths, etc. in most countries are now done in millimeters, not inches. 3/4" ply is usually 18mm or 19mm, not 3/4! The nut on the SLG200N is actually 50mm, and it is 52mm on the NW. A two inch nut would have been 50.8mm ... weird! ;P

@JimmyTulip1 Год назад

So if anybody here actually uses this guitar (or the slightly wider model 200NW): can you practice with it silently in a city apartment situation with "paper walls" where you hear every toilet flush from everybody level the night through? I mean: is it really quiet enough to not piss off anyone? My classical definitely is not, even when I play it as silently as I can, it is still too much late at night. Any comments appreciated.

@guitargod6997 7 месяцев назад

This model guitar does have a radiused neck. The other classical silent guitar has a wider flat "classical" neck. When not amplified, the guitar is relatively "silent" enough., One can listen with headphones "silently" and the guitar amplifies nicely with a quality PA. Good for recording and eliminating fret board noise.

@brin57 Год назад

Can't quite put my finger on it, but it' doesn't sound good to me. Godin set the bar quite high for stage electric nylon, and I'm afraid the Yamaha doesn't even come close. That said, it's also less than half the price of the Godin.

@roberttodd2414 3 месяца назад

i always hated nylon guitars cause of how awful they are to play but threw caution to the wind and got the nylon of this cause its different and the nylon through the chrous etc and the playability just makes it cool and unique

@michaelallen1966 10 дней назад

I have had both. Both are great, but they are very different. The Cordoba is much louder - though it is slim it's got a really resonant top. If you need to be quiet in your practice I'd definitely go for the Yamaha. For gigging I think the Cordoba will win for many people as it has a more natural sound.

why 1 and 31/32 and not 2 inch? Because its Japanese and like the rest of the civilized world they use metric and it equals 50 millimetres. :P love the N sound though. I don't have a nylon in my stable but I'm rather tempted by this one.

It’s because of the string angle as it passes over the nut and to the tuner. Gibsons tend to have this problem too.

Try 3 Bridge Tele’s 😮 Some classical guys will use a wound G instead of nylon for multiple reasons, I have not tried it yet. If the guitar has fresh strings it takes classical strings a bit of time to settle in
