DanOwens Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Here is a Yamaha Silent Guitar – model SLG200S. I bought this for silent practice and as on-stage backup. I never actually used it on stage as I bought it just before COVID, so it’s been my go-to couch guitar. As such it is in a flawless condition. At the moment it is strung with D’addario Flat-Tops which really helps quieten it down for the living room. We used to live in a tiny 2-bed council house and I could play it quite hard without waking the family; it was a life-saver during lockdown! The colour is ‘translucent black’, which looks absolutely incredible and the SRT pickup (updated for the 200 series) sounds amazing, as you would expect from Yamaha. There’s a headphone-out so you can hear the in-built reverb whilst practising, but there’s also an Aux-in so you can jam along to baking tracks (I had iReal Pro on my phone plugged in) and the pickup / mic blend allowed me to dial in a few different sounds – handy when I was trying Gypsy picking. This comes with the case and ‘case candy’; as you can see from the pictures the body screws off and it fits into a really small, well-padded case. We’ve moved house and now I don’t have to be as quiet – we also need to replace the conservatory roof! So here is is. There are nearly £700 new so for £450 this is 65% of the new price. I live in Kendal in the Lake District and my daughter lives in Bolton so I’m regularly around these locations and I’m happy to meet someone around these areas; I’ll drive a reasonable distance if it means saving us both the hassle of shipping the items. If you’d rather have the item shipped then I would ask that the buyer arranges this. I can drop off at a suitable collection point, and I work from home if the item is to be collected. In such a case, I will ensure that the item is properly packaged with polystyrene or bubblewrap and I’ll make a trip to Curry’s to get suitable box or to assemble one if the item is too large. Other info I’ll have quite a few items up for sale over the next few weeks and I’ll also be advertising them on other sources, so please let me know if you’re interested and I can ensure that other adverts are taken down as I don’t want to disappoint anyone.

DanOwens Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Bump - I had a sale but it fell through. I am much more happy to arrange a courier for this item and still accepting offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I got mine for Christmas and absolutely love it. It plays like a dream and so easy to just pick up when the mood takes. I often use it at home with a Yamaha THR5A desktop amp but it really comes alive when put through my Bose mixer into a PA. The onboard FX and tuner really are a bonus. Highly recommended and some lucky BC'er will have a great time with this guitar. A good price and GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOwens Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 Thanks, man! Yeah I'm surprised it hasn't gone yet but I've already dropped the price a bit. I bought it for £420 not that long ago so I don't want to go any lower than £400 ideally. I'm happy to wait - perhaps I'll restring it as I recently intended....
