Excellent sound and controls
The Silent Guitar utilizes a B-Band™ pickup system fitted beneath the instru-
ment’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 1/100
th
the
amount of sound energy and 1/10
th
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 record-
ings
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.
