Yamaha SA2200

Yamaha Hollow Series has faced continuous model changes and new lineup expansions responding market demand/trends for over 40 years since 1966. Such an achievement has been done by only Yamaha because no other companies have developed both acoustic craftsmanship and electronic technology. Current lineups offer various body styles and pickup configurations to accommodate with a diverse range of players requests.

Yamaha

The SLG200NW is a modern silent guitar from Yamaha. Yamaha is a Japanese company founded in 1887 by Torakusu Yamaha. He started developing organs and pianos, the first in Japan. He prioritized innovation and quality, and this is still evident in Yamaha's current products. The silent guitar is therefore silent, ideal for guitarists who do not want to create a nuisance or who like to play undisturbed. But how does this work? The guitar has no sound box or body, so there is no resonance. As a result, minimal noise is released. It's not completely silent, the attack of the strings will always produce a slight tone, but it's as minimal as it gets. The guitarist can hear the sound by connecting headphones to the guitar. This way you can practice in peace. But if you do want to play very audibly or want to play together, you can also connect the guitar to an amplifier.

This Yamaha SLG200NW comes with the acoustic guitar service package worth € 75.00, consisting of:

• Adjustment before delivery/shipping
• An adjustment voucher
• Plectrum holder
• Official Joh.deHeer warranty certificate

What then creates the sound? There is a piezo element under the bridge. This pickup is almost always used on semi-acoustic guitars. It captures the resonance and vibrations as authentically as possible. This system is aided by the SRT system which is hidden behind it. This system adds certain sound aspects to the sound, making it sound as authentic and acoustic as possible. This is necessary, because without a sound box there is no resonance and therefore no acoustic sound. Just because the SRT system has to do this artificially doesn't mean it sounds artificial. The system is so sophisticated that it knows exactly how to recreate the resonance, sustain, atmosphere and natural distortion of an acoustic guitar. Moreover, all these aspects can also be adjusted with the buttons on the side.

Materials

The SLG200NW is based on a classical guitar. The silent guitar has nylon strings with a classic headstock and tuners. The neck is also adapted to this. It has the same dimensions as a standard classical neck with a flat radius. So it really feels like a classical guitar. Moreover, Yamaha has used the best materials for this. The frame and base plate are made of mahogany. This is a sturdy type of wood with a beautiful color. It is heavy enough that it balances the neck well, but light enough that the silent guitar is as weightless as it appears. The neck is also made of mahogany, which makes the guitar look nice and complete. The fingerboard is made of ebony. Ebony is very rigid and provides a smooth playing surface. In addition, the guitar comes with a built-in tuner, headphone jack and a smartphone jack. The guitar comes with a bag. In short, the SLG200NW is a beautiful and innovative silent guitar for a great price!
