Yamaha Acoustic 'Silent guitar'

The acoustic Yamaha Silent Guitars produce virtually no tone. When you slip on a pair of headphones, you enter a virtual world where full, rich guitar tone is enveloped in luxurious reverb, a world of space and beauty. Plug the Silent Guitar into an amplifier, and you have rich acoustic tone, with two individual levels of in-built reverb, and zero feedback. An auxiliary “in” enables you to connect a CD or cassette player to jam along with your favourite tracks. A great way to improve quickly.

Yamaha Silent Guitars are unique instruments, evolving from Yamaha’s expertise in the manufacture of quality acoustic guitars and quality electronics. No other guitar allows you to practice in silence without annoying anybody, play along with your favourite music, or plug in and perform the most demanding of gigs.
