    Hi. I bought a 200n after having used a NCS700 for a few years in guitar duo. Arthritis, carpal tunnel and age made handling the 700 difficult. Although a superb instrument, body size and barre chords not good. Bought the 200n. A new life! So soft on the hands. I took down the factory set action some and added d'addario composites. What a dream. It takes a bit of time to eq to a full body nylon strum sound in spite of the SRT and is not really the ideal axe to play if you are a rough right hand player. Take time to get used to the gentle requirements of this beauty! I put it through an old Yamaha EMX 500. Clean is not the word!! Thanks for your enthusiasm and professionalism. You made an auld phart feel validated!!

    I got the SLG200S as a birthday present in October this year & it's amazing!!..
    Fabulous for we insomniac guitarists who can't sleep at 3am & want to play without waking up the neighbours..
    Sounds awesome through headphones but put it through an amp & man it's something else.. It goes into full on head turning, jaw dropping gig beast.. This thing is made for playing Stairway, Wanted Dead Or Alive, More Than Words etc live & ironically loud while still sounding like a 100% full bodied acoustic.. Downside is the £600 price tag.. Otherwise it's 100% recommended as a must buy for any guitarist!!🤘🎸✌

    I originally bought the older SLG110 a decade ago. Loved it. Now have SLG200 steel string AND nylon. Main reason? Convenience. They can do everything, and the onboard tuner and effects are great. The design is so lightweight and comfortable, that everything else starts to feel really heavy and cumbersome. The 200 has been around for about 7-8 years now, so I’d be expecting an upgraded version soon? One upgrade that would make it a show stopper would be the addition of at least one electric guitar pickup, wired through the onboard preamp? If that signal could also be blended to the under saddle pickup already installed, it would truly be an almost unbeatable guitar for practice and even stage performance. YAMAHA, PLEASE ADD A MINI HUMBUCKER OR TWO!!!!😎

    I bought this Nylon string about 9mos ago. It is a wonderfully made instrument. Great quality. Playing at night or on the couch while watching a movie is no longer a problem for those around me. Great sounds. I really appreciate the stereo effects in the headphones.
    Got it used so it didn’t break the bank. I would suggest to anyone who is stuck in a musical rut, buy one, and get unstuck.
    It is a wonder catalyst to go different places with your playing!

  • @joebyrne7503
    @joebyrne7503 Před 2 lety +5

    I tried one today and really liked it, my only question is about how versatile it is - I was hoping it might be able to effectively function as both travel guitar and secondary electric, given the number of comparisons to having the feel of an electric. Another video I've seen implied you don't get much feedback from it, which made me wonder if you could use it with a standard guitar amp, but when I asked the guy in the guitar shop about running it through my Marshall MG, he advised staying away from crunch or overdrive tones, which I use quite a lot ...
    Has anyone else had any experience with this - or regularly (and successfully) uses an SLG200S with heavy overdrive tones?

    I have the same guitar for a few days, and i wonder if there is a risk for the electronic part, to connect the stéréo out headphone mini jack to an hifi stéréo amp.
    In the manual, it is specified that nothing should be connected other than headset.Have you already tested; and do you think there is a risk ?.

    • @RogerThat902
      @RogerThat902 Před 3 lety +1

      I would say get this if you really want it, but if next door neighbor noise is a concern I'd still get a standard electric (start, les paul, tele, etc.) and just play it acoustically if you are worried about noise.
      Unless your walls are REALLY thin, nobody will hear you from outside your house. This guitar IMO, is for if someone is close by you and it would be annoying to hear any sort of sound. I have one at my office, for example.

    I purchased one of these guitars so i could practice and not annoy the wife ! i was going to build one as a project. After seeing demonstrations like this ,and as we know Yamaha make fine musical instruments i shed out £600 +.Because i have other quality acoustic guitars i only use it through head phones i must say i was very very disappointed so i purchase the headphones Yamaha recommended still not impressed it sounds absolutely nothing like what you hear on the demonstrations which will be played through an amp. It may be a very good and versatile guitar for gigging and playing through an amp but through head phones "alone" i dont think its worth the price, certainly not for my application .
