Quiet Guitar
I have been playing guitar for a long time. Not professional, just for yourself. I think, I am not alone in the evening, after work, I like to sort out the memorized melodies a little or to improvise as a rest, meditation, if you like. The constant problem that I encounter during such an evening game is the confrontation of the volume level between “I will wake up the neighbors” and “I don’t hear anything”. Finding the middle is very difficult, it’s like the ratio of hot and cold water for a shower, you know what it is, but you can’t pick it up.
One of the solutions to such a task, which not only saves the nerves of your neighbors, but does not disturb your loved ones, is a game on a Silent guitar. For those who already have the tools (like me) this is certainly not an option (although ...), but if you currently want to buy a guitar or put off this purchase due to lack of space in the apartment, noise, this text will be very useful to you.
In the world there are four companies that produce such instruments: Yamaha, Traveler Guitar, Warr Guitars, and Koopal. Being in Russia, the easiest way is to purchase a tool from Yamaha, which will be discussed further ...

In the model range Yamaha three guitars of this type:
The difference between the first two - strings (S - steel, N - nylon), the head of the neck and the presence of the lining (it is in 100S). The third guitar is a live version of the model 100N, we will not dwell on it in detail.
The neck of the guitar is made of mahogany, the body of maple, which, as you know, resonates well (in this case it is quite important, given its size). Shell (contours) are made of plastic. It is worth noting that the top can be easily removed for transportation or storage, the truncated cover comes complete with the guitar.
Musician is available to adjust the volume, bass and treble. Also in the guitar there is a built-in reverb with three positions of the knob (off / 1/2).
The output signal can be sent to the monitors or to the headphones (separate output), which are included. When playing through headphones, the above-mentioned reverb and equalizer will help to achieve excellent sound. Guitar pickups with a preamp. Powered by batteries or from the network.
Guitars also have an aux in input. Through it you can connect the player with a backing or with a shock section. The volume of the input is adjustable.
To evaluate the sound through a combo, I suggest watching two reviews of these guitars:
Video review of the Yamaha SLG 100S
Video review of the Yamaha SLG 100N
Pros:
Great sound
Good build
Mobility and lightness
The ability to play through headphones
Minuses:
Price about 25 thousand rubles
Total:
The guitar is suitable as a “sofa” guitar player, who will be glad to have the opportunity to play only for himself through headphones, without disturbing anyone, and to a touring person, who will appreciate its mobility and lightness.
In this case, the price of someone confused, but on the other hand, 20,000 is the cost, for example, iPhone, against which the purchase of such a tool for the same money looks much more attractive.
