Yamaha SLG130NW Silent Acoustic/Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this model of Yamaha's silent guitar because it has near the same nut width (52.5mm) as my regular classical guitar - an Alvarez Yairi CY116 (52mm). I like to practice late at night and the Yamaha's near silent functionality helps me keep from disturbing others. Amplified, the guitar sounds quite nice - clear tones. I've not used the reverb functions much other than to test them but sustain is obviously heightened and the echo produces some nice musical effects.
Aesthetically, this guitar is gorgeous. Mine came with no fit or finish issues and the high-gloss amber sunburst coloring makes it pop when on a stand. Haven't traveled with it yet but I have no concerns that it won't fit in an overhead compartment once the upper bout is removed. The padded soft case is sufficient for such purposes.
