Musicians call intensive practice woodshedding, because that’s where a guitarist traditionally take their ax if they wanted to rehearse out of earshot of audience and critics. With the advent of the Yamaha Silent Guitar series, such a trip to a remote lumber pile is fine, but no longer necessary.

Originally designed as ideal practice and travel instruments, the steel-string SLG100S and nylon-string SLG100N quickly became popular with touring guitarists enamored with its practical, feedback-free live applications and modern jet-age appearance.

The custom-designed pickup systems by L.R. Baggs and B-Band faithfully reproduce every nuance, providing full, rich tone for stage and studio work. The SLG twins also feature great sounding built-in Yamaha digital reverbs. Backstage, on the tour bus, or at home, the SLG100 easily fulfills the role of a woodshed axe, thanks to its comfortable, lightweight composite frame and included earbud-style headphones. With the AUX IN jack, you can connect a CD player for private jamming.

When you’re finished, the SLG100 quickly dismatles and stores in the included compact gig bag for easy storage and travel. The SLG100 works with batteries or the included power supply.
