The Future of the Classic
The sound it produces acoustically is minimal, but
when you slip on a pair of headphones, you enter a
virtual world where full, rich classic guitar tone is
enveloped in luxurious reverb. A world full of space and beauty.
Yamaha’s Silent Guitar is a unique instrument that
benefits from Yamaha’s vast knowledge and experience
in the making of quality classic guitars and quality
electronics. This nylon string guitar’s silent design lets you practice wherever, whenever you like while built-in electronics deliver full the guitar’s bodied tone, enhanced with the richness of reverb, to a pair of headphones or sound system.
For beginners or experienced players alike, the Silent Guitar will provide you with pleasure through great playability and tone.
Excellent sound and controls
The Silent Guitar utilizes a B-Band pickup system fitted beneath the instrument’s bridge. This high performance system delivers rich, full-bodied classic
guitar tone and excellent response. Bass and treble tone controls mounted on the body for easy access give you total control over the guitar’s tone. Also, being a solid body instrument that uses no microphone, the Silent Guitar eliminates the worry of feedback when performing live with a sound system.
Silent design makes it perfect for home use or practice
Compared to a normal classic guitar the Silent Guitar
acoustically produces only 1/100th the amount of sound energy and 1/10th the amount of sound volume (tested in-house). Such excellent silent characteristics make it great for playing anytime or anywhere.
Built-in DSP effect adds the richness of reverb
The Silent Guitar is equipped with a built-in DSP effects processor that’s designed by Yamaha. This circuit offers two types of reverb that, when activated, envelopes the warm tone of the Silent Guitar with rich reverb that will give you and your listeners the realistic impression that you are performing on the stage of a concert hall. You’ll be amazed at the emotion and inspiration that this feature brings to your playing.
AUX IN lets you play along with your favorite recordings
Connect a CD or cassette player, etc. to the AUX IN jack and play along with your favorite recordings. This feature is a great way to improve your playing quickly. An AUX volume control offers greater control over sound balance.
Detachable frame offers comfort and easy transport
The Silent Guitar’s unique design offers excellent comfort and support even when played while seated. A cutaway design provides full access to the upper frets. The upper frame detaches from the main body and fits, along with the rest of the guitar, neatly into a compact case that makes carrying easy.
