Here for sale we have a Yamaha SLG-100S NT Silent Guitar in Natural finish. Yamaha's line of silent guitars were introduced in 2001 as a way for guitarists to practise anytime, anywhere without disturbing anyone. The bass side 'frame' is quickly and easily removed, and fits easily into the supplied gig bag along with all of the accessories, making the silent guitar an extremely portable instrument. Made in Taiwan in 2013, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Maple centre block with composite sides, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard with matching bridge. Gold Yamaha sealed tuning machines are fitted, along with an LR-Baggs undersaddle piezo pickup which is wired to on board controls for volume, bass & treble. The on-board preamp also features an auxiliary input, 3.5mm headphone output and 1/4" instrument cable output, as well as two on-board reverb voices. 
 
The Mahogany neck plays well, with a profile that might be described as a moderately-sized 'C' shape. This fills the hand nicely for a substantial grip whilst remaining practical for articulate melodic playing. The finish to the rear of the neck is nice and thin, producing a nice tactile feeling under the thumb thanks to the grain of the Mahogany. The Rosewood fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 14" radius strikes a perfect balance between comfort when chord playing and practicality for melodic lines. The composite frame body is comfortable in the arms whilst keeping the weight down. This ensures comfort on long practice sessions, keeping fatigue at bay. 
 
Unplugged, the Yamaha SLG-100S produces a similar volume to a solid-body electric, meaning that it can be played in almost any situation without disturbing anyone around you. The on-board preamp offers a really great range of features aimed at making practice possible in any setting. A 3.5mm auxiliary input means that you can connect an external player for backing tracks, with a volume control built-in so that you can easily mix your guitar and backing track levels. A 3.5mm headphone output is included too, meaning that most headphones can be connected with ease for silent practice. Two different on-board reverb sounds are included, allowing you to get as natural a tone as possible from this decidedly unconventional instrument. On top of all this, a traditional 1/4" instrument cable output is included so that you can plug the guitar into a conventional guitar amp. A highly practical instrument designed to remove any excuse for not practising.
