Inspired by traditional classical guitar design, the SLG200N features a slim neck, thin body, and low action that lets players adopt a more aggressive style, allowing even those players who wouldn't normally choose to perform with a classical guitar to play it with ease. SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modeled after the tones of a high end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio envinronment. By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar - right down to its natural sustain and decay - Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance, body tone and ambience of an acoustic guitar. SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors. The detachable top section of SLG's frame means that practiaclity and portability are way beyond that of a conventional guitar. And the luxury gigbag provided can be carried with ease and fits into an aircraft overhead compartment with room to spare. The slim body of the SLG gives this instrument superb playability, and allows players to switch to playing an electric guitar without any discomfort should the need arise. With the SLG, Yamaha set out to bring a modern feel to the classic contours of a conventional guitar. The distinctive design that emerged is the result of a collaborative effort between the project team and the Yamaha Design Laboratory, and combines traditional guitar lines with an innovative new form unlike that of any guitar before it. The bodiless design of the SLG offers a natural, quiet sound that allows guitarists to play without disturbing others, whether practicing late at night or playing in the living room when the family is home. The SLG200N is eighty percent quieter than a conventional acoustic guitar. Connect to an external music player to enjoy music playback, enhance your playing with a range of authentic effects, or plug in headphones to enjoy playing in privacy - the SLG offers a variety of functions that make playing even more enjoyable. What's more, SLG come with a built in precision chromatic tuner, compatibility with both battery - and AC power, and a range of other user friendly features.
