Nice demo. I love the consistent and warm sound of the Silent Guitar. I bought mine about a month ago. It plays and sounds like a dream!
I just got mine and it is becoming my favorite guitar really fast.
Thank you for the demo
Very nice comparison video. Yamaha is getting closer by the years in producing silent acoustic guitar sounds (steel and nylon) that are close to full body sound. I believe they are the best in it now. Silent guitars are very good in terms of having an internal amp which is nice if you want to play quickly without additional cables. Having said that, the sound of a full body solid wood acoustic guitar is still ahead, and I wish the technology will catch up soon so we can save the trees and enjoy playing guitar music.
I just found one of these used in xlnt shape,.. well, the Nylon version. Really looking fwd to receiving it...Tough picking between S or N versions but I have a cpl proper bodied SS acoustics,...so Nylon it is ! GREAT VIDEO .
Thank you for uploading this comparison

I suggest that you also record the acoustic with an external microphone, like with a small diaphragm condenser mic. From what I hear is that SLG200S sounds better "electronically" but I think the acoustic will perform better with a real condenser mic.
Great video, I have been considering the yamaha for quite sometime now. Mostly for silent practice but I think the yamaha sound just as good as the other guitars in the video. Right now Sweetwater just dropped the price to just over $500 which is a crazy good deal, they never seem to be discounted. That price and your video will cause me to go ahead and do it.... Thanks.
Hi Stan Thanks for letting me know. Yes great deal for sure. Hope this guitar will serve you well!
Thanks for the video. Nice job, very thorough. I own the Yamaha, but would have preferred it based on this video even if I didn't. I really enjoyed your playing, too.
Thanks for checking out the video.
I’ve owned and gigged my SLG200S for a while now . Totally amazing guitar always receives great comments and the effects are really useful . Always loved Yamaha guitars
If you move some of the settings, do u think you can make it sounds close to a regular electric guitar?
Live with a band it removes all the hassles of playing an acoustic and sounds decent. That's why I got one.
I bought a Yamaha to be my first electric guitar and get Hum free sound on headphones. Amazing silence between songs, unlike a Fender Strat I borrowed or the so-called hum bucker set up on a Gibson Les Paul.
Sounds good. Not sure what you mean about this being your first electric guitar. This is an acoustic guitar. It wilk sound like an acoustic guitar. From my experience plugging acoustic guitar to an electric guitar amp did not sound too great. But hope it will work for you
Hi, great video! I am thinking on buying one. Significant time has passed since you made this video. What are your impressions now and how does it sound through headphones? Cheers!
I already replied to your question on other video I have made. Listen to the sound samples on yet another video I have made. It's guitar direct to the mixing desk
tell me this guitar can be connected to a combo amplifier for an electric guitar? Or will you need to buy a specially different one for this guitar, if so, what kind of amplifier is needed?)
Great demo. The Yamaha has a beautiful sound and I also liked the sound of the Cort. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Yes The Yamaha Silent is a great guitar. If I am lucky I might get one end of this year. Corts are definitely underrated. I highly recommend this brand.
What gauge is for the silent guitar? And what strings do u use with it? Overall, really loved this video!
They were 11s as far as I remember. It has been a while since I made the video. Thank you for checking in.
Hi, great demo/comparison. Have my SLG 200 S ordered. I might have to look at removing the 'pick guard', wish Yamaha had made a nicer job of that at 600, would have cost them only a few cents.
Hi Iain.Thanks for your kind words and congratulations on getting a new guitar. Hopefully it will make you happy! Best wishes
Feel like the first acoustic has little more low end soul but gives up that high end zing, the second acoustic the other way around having the sharper high notes but falling flat down low.
To my ears the Yamaha seems to be the most rounded off 3, the highs and lows are still very very good, but it's not pushing the envelope in exchange for having very consistent and progressive sound. A fair path I'd say as this lends itself to clarity that helps highlight nuance, or for someone like me it doesn't forgive half missed notes to encourage you to play cleaner, (so long as you aren't using it's effects knob that is)
Depending on the music (mainly the range needed) each guitar could do better & worse, song to song. As for practicing on general though the Yamaha seems to be the best tool to use as it seems to do without any feedback loops, & in mixed mode the high & low clarity seem phenomenal, hence why I went an' bought one of these Yamahas albeit a nylon one.
Great video! Can you please let us know which strings are on the Yamaha? Thank you
They were D'Addario 10s or 11s
@@GregMichael wow, thanks for getting back to me and so quickly! Would you happen to remember which D’addarios- 80/20 bronze or EXP16 phosphor or other?I’ve tried several but really like the way the ones you are playing sound. If not, that’s ok, I keep looking for the ones I like best.
i want to buy this guitar but i have one question how to plug it in the pc? i found no videos to this
If you want to plug it in to your computer for recording you need an audio interface to change the analog signal to digital. If you just want to plug it into a computer to jam to the backing track, you just need to plug the computer to the line input of the guitar and use headphones plugged in to the guitar. You can control the volume of the track coming into your guitar. Hope that helps?
@@GregMichael yea perfect thank you for your fast answer
I thought Cort was junk. I was impressed with this one! Maton is my favorite (I don't own yet) ,but I need to have a good travel guitar. Like the Yamaha. Thanks for the video!
Cort are great. If Frank Gambale and Bunblefoot play one then they can't be bad:-)
cort are a great guitar beautifully made and well priced the higher end ones are as good as any going around ask Frank Gambale
Got a used slg200s for 250 usd. What a great guitar
Could I connect my headphones directly to the guitar or do I need an amp?
You plug it in direct so no need for an amp.
@@GregMichael awsome, thank you!
sorry for dumb question. But what does mean "Pickup"? Mic is of, but just pickup or mic + pickup - whats the difference? ^^
The microphone in acoustic guitars is to add more natural tone that the piezo pickups lack of. The built in microphone on it's own sounds a bit rubbish so it's quite nice to combine the two. Hope that helps?
@@GregMichael yes thank you :) looked on your channel, rly interesting content - sub from me ^^
but p.s. I was researching about this guitar last days and now I'm shortly before buying it, but I have so many questions now... Maybe could you help me with that? will very appreciate it.
I have some good accoustic devices at home like RME babyface pro fs interface with instrumental input, good mic, edifier s2000pro head speakers and Sennheiser HD 660S headphoes. but in guitar world or overall music production I'm completely zero.
1) Is my gear ok for reproducing clear sound of accoustic guitar with yamaha s200?
2) Do I need just to connect the guitrar into my interface and I will be able to hear it from headphones/speakers?
3) As I previously told - I'm totaly beginner. ATM I have the yamaha FG 800M, which is 3 years old, I didnt play it, but wanted to start everytime... yeah maybe you know that people like me - "starting tomorrow" :D
The biggest problem at this moment is that I live in very old house with tiny walls and my passion to play always comes at the night. So this guitar is only one option for my "quick" progression. The second issue is that my actual guitar seems to not playing well compared to everything what I hear. Maybe strings are too old or something else is broken, cant analyze it without experience, but I already showed it to my friend via voice and he had the same opinion.
So all in one, yamaha S200s seems from my side as really good solution, but....
- Will I be able to learn the guitar same, as normal accoustic guitar? I mean all failtures, which I could do with normal guitar like, "bad clutches with wrong output voice or wrong chords position/pressing force". Will I be able to hear all the trash, which I do by learning same as normal accoustic guitar?
- And what is your opinion about switching between s200 and normal guitar? Will I have troubles with sense of sound or something else?
sorry for such long question, but its not a cheap purchase for beginner like me. So I'm trying to get more information about it :)
I love my SLG200s. The only "bad thing" is it sounds horrible with acrylic nails, like scratching a black board, so had to learn to play without them.
The SLG sounded the best but I'm not sold on the look of the Guitar.
Yamaha Silent always is the best of guitar silent
Seems to be a lot of volume differences. The Yamaha always seemed louder.
Sorry, what is the melody?
Give me the time stamp
what r music name?
Do you mean songs that I played?
@@GregMichael yup!?
@@chanpatrick8162 'More Than A Feeling' by Boston is the first song. Then I played 'House Of The Rising Sun'
I’m a silent guitar user I suggest to remove pick better to play acoustic
Do you mean play with bare fingers? I do that when I play late. Also playing quietly helps do develop the speed of the right hand due to lighter touch. Thanks for checking in
What’s the name of this super good song? Thank’s
Give me the time when the song starts. I bet its More than a feeling by Boston
🔥🔥🔥 Real guitars with mic sound better. Less quack. Less attack. But for comfortability and portability, Yamaha did great.
The acoustic guitar sounds much better.
Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion James
What?????
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
Yamaha all the way..the sounds are too pure and bold
I wish i could have a guitar😔
Christian paul Gabitan Why don’t you get one?
Yamaha
Cort champion
Jajajaja Yamaha para de subir los precios
Yamaha is significantly louder,lol)))
Too much piezzo quack for my taste. I own a Silent 200N, but thats another story
none of these sound any good. uninspired tone all around. that makes the Yamaha ultimately very that good.
