those unwilling to travel with a fine concert instrument.

 

The silent guitar is a type of guitar that converts the vibration of the strings into electric using a piezoelectric pickup as well as high quality digital samples of acoustic guitar strings. The open body of this guitar does not intensify the vibration of the strings into audible sound. The hushed tone from the Silent Guitar could be heard over a conversation at a moderate volume, Which is great for live performances. I guess they don’t call it a Silent Guitar for no reason. Yamaha installed its studio response technology and preamp system. This system includes the tone controls, a blend knob for adjusting the ratio of sound from the under-saddle pickup versus the preamp’s modeled sounds. And another knob lets you graduate between digital reverb and chorus effects.
