Great video. I wasn't expecting to hear such awesome playing, well done.
Very calming video. Thanks JP
One thing I really enjoy are your videos, John! Thanks again!!!
Excellent review and demo. I think you just convinced me to buy one! I'd got a shortlist of three that I was going for but this fits the bill perfectly. The point you make at the end about being in a private space is really important, and I think that just swung it. Thanks!
Your channel and sense of humor is Gold, subscribed!!!🤣
Thanks for a great review. All I can say is WOW what a great sounding instrument and amp. I have both of them on order and can't wait to get my hands on them.
I’ve had my SLG200S for many years! I love it! Def need to upgrade my amp to that THR30 soon! My Marshall amp has got some miles on her lol
Excellent review, I will definitely be looking into that duel. Cheers
Great overview! Especially the conclusions.
What a wonderful review and demo dear John 👍 I'm a YAMAHA fan as well and have these two amazing items on top of my wishlist, Shine on 🙂
That AMP is absolutely perfect.
Great Breakdown
Interesting Amp and great for indoor Jam. I'm also using my Silent guitar for my gig and it really is amazing guitar. Great review for both instruments! 👍👍👍
Great review, thank you.
you have some real fretboard skills there kind sir- thanks for the video- I will be getting this amp for my SLG N ( also need one for my ibanez RG series)
Thanks your valuable information, actually I bought Silent Guitar few days ago and I enjoy this and I notice that I might need this amp sooner later.
Not a microphone. The blend is a model blended with the straight piezo sound. Love my steel string. Great instrument and truly a tool for creating music and rehearsal.
This is as Professional and Well Done as any Review on the Web! Congrats to you both!
Ironically this is the first time I've heard a silent guitar.
best comment ive seen in awhile lol
Thanks!
Very nice combination!
Thank you so much
Thx JP - very informative !
Hilarious opening (literally)! I have an slg200s and am curious about these THR acoustic amps, bot the 10 & 30.
The best Video i see this year abouth some gadget or some electrónic machine.... thanks,,, lots of thanks for this passion and excel.lent review. Very professional and happy to found one Yami like this...
thanks J.P.
The aux is an input into the preamp on the guitar. I have the nylon and steel version, love them both.
Great video getting my steel strung one for Christmas 21. noticed you have a tyros 3 there I like you love Yamaha instruments I have the T5 Would love the Genos but for £3000+ I'll stick to my 5 and that amp I will check it out. Thanks again and season greetings from the UK.
For what it is, that Yamaha guitar sounds great!
I have the THR5A, which is for an acoustic guitar... just love the thing
@@apegrasshoplizard nice but that is so yesterday lol… sold it moved on to another toy. Lol
@@apegrasshoplizard omg, i was born in 1970…. Love to gear hop. Going to make the most of the the years I have left on this hearth… nothing makes me happier, than playing guitar (even if i am not that great at it) and buying gear…
Ha! Just added your 1000th ‘like’ on the video 😊👍. Good review😎👍
Absolutley Killer video. I'd like to hear you run that straight into your DAW.
impressive
So you know if the THR30IIA Amp has independent volume control for bluetooth audio volume, like the THR30II? How would it work? I don’t see any way to control the bluetooth audio volume.
Great thanks
Love Yamaha.....just bought a new one last week
Pretty cool they finally put a line out on the Yamaha amp. I had the previous generation on display when I worked at Sam Ash and my one request would have been a line out to a PA to use the amp live. I’d actually like to just have the preamp and effects unit as a floorboard unit I could plug into my PA.
I've lined my old THR5 out with the headphone jack and it worked fine.
I’ll second your request for a floor unit👍 I was thinking the same thing.
Thanks for the Video! Im 65 and decided to learn guitar... I was going straight for aa Les Paul Studio not a traditional choice I know. Then I cam across this Yamaha. i like it. To learn and to grow for my personal enjoyment. What do you think.? Im a real beginner. I want a little bit of everything.
If I buy the slg200s, which THR amp should I buy in order to jam along with a regular steel string accoustic guitar friend and to be on the equivalent sound volume?
Question for you SLG owners. I have a THR5A and SLG200S. What settings should be used on the guitar when plugged into the amp? I’m guessing the guitar effects should be off and the tone and base in center. Because the amp is designed for acoustic, the pickup/mic should be all mic? Thanks for your input.
This is all great JP but how does it work in wireless mode. What happens to the volume when in battery mode?. Does the wireless G10 have any audio artifacts?
Hey John, I like your style and taste in gear so I thought I'd ask your opinion. I purely play to amuse myself and play acoustic guitars, but I'd like a little amp to tweak the sound and add effects just to keep myself interested.
I was close to buying one of these Yamaha thr30-IIA but upon hearing good things about the Fishman loudbox series I thought again. ( in my case I'd be looking at either the "mini"or "artist" version.) I will also be using either amp as my home stereo via Bluetooth/aux to play MP3s.
Considering I just want the best sound and the most stimulating features to add enjoyment to my acoustic playing and I will never be gigging or filling a large area with sound, which would you recommend? Or any other suggestions? Anyone please feel free to give me your 5 cents. Cheers from Australia and love your work John if you read this.
Yamaha is *criminally* underrated as a guitar brand. I have the THR30 also, it’s AMAZING. Currently debating buying a cheaper secondhand Silent guitar from the 100series, or just order a new 200 series.
Great review! Thank you! There's any chance Yamaha gonna release a next generation soon? I want to play guitar but my walls too thin, I need a quite machine for learning
Just caught this. Have had these 10 years, both steel and nylon. Perfect as a travel guitar. Play mine through an Acus 5t. Actually comes alive with just headphones.
Hello. What would you recommend for me to have: a nylon one or steel one? I sing worship and I want to play in church using that guitar. In home I've got a nylon classic guitar but I know I need an acustic one or this silent model. Thank you in advance
@@dominikdudek16 Hi, personally I would go with steel for the punch and resonance. I have seen these played through all kinds of amps and PA systems. I have played my nylon version througn an Acus 5t and a Hughes & Kettner 5w and the tones are clear when hitting chords.
@@T5Zplayer Thank you very much🙂 Cheers from Poland
Is there Bluetooth on board the guitar so you could connect airpods or something like Bose Bluetooth capable wireless headphones, or do you have to be wired up?
THR30-IIA or a Fishman loudbox mini or artist? Which makes for a better user experience in the lounge room for practice and just self entertainment all things considered? Does the Yamaha compare with any of the Fishman loudboxes in terms of sound quality at a low to medium volume? I appreciate anyone's input.
Cheers
I'm about to get the mark ii version of this (awaiting the phone call of its arrival), but I noticed that the ii doesn't have condensor or dynamic mic modelling ... or am I wrong? Either way, I think it'll be enlightening. Although in my apartment building even plucking an unplugged electric gets hard footsteps above, I'll be able to have a little fun with this--unlike the Bassman. Wow, what a player you are!
This is not bad! 👍 🙂
"Silence of the Yams". I love my Silent Yamaha Nylon, so sensual and inviting to play without disturbing people. Have the wireless THR 30 II amp also. The only issue I have, is my strap keeps coming off. Strap locks won't fit the body fasteners. If you have a connection to Yamaha Canada, please get them to design new strap pegs. Thank you.
I have the same issue with mine- I contacted yamaha and there unfortunately is nothing out for that issue yet, not even after market products
@@onen0zednine753 Cheers.
I put a neck button onto mine and replaced the mid section hole with a regular hex bolt (like they use in computer desks, they lay flush.) sits much nicer. Then use those beer bottle type washers to keep the strap on. they work.
@@michaelussher86 I'm going to try that, thanks.
@@michaelussher86 Excellent. Thank you.
We have one of the new silent violins (in an apartment) and are very impressed. Plays well and sounds great both plugged into an amp, and acoustically is able to keep up with an acoustic guitar in a living room.
Hi JP! You should check out the NU-X Stageman floor Di. It's a wicked little box if you want to go direct ;-)
I have the Thr5A love the sound but it cuts out on battery power alone,I’ve had 3 replacements they all did the same …I’ve kept it but it needs mains supply to work …
Does the THRii 30 have a stereo input?
I had one. I saw Garnet Rogers playing one in Orangeville, Ontario. He recommended it to me after the show. I had to have one and it served well to do Patio stuff. coffee house gigs. Paid about $900 canadian for it. around year 2,000. then it disappeared. Nice while I had it. I could leave Strat. Tele, Ovation And Jumbo Guild at home No mikes stands. onboard effects were ok but you could plug into amps, boards before smart phones, I can't imagine now.
When I sit beside some and practice ....they most definitely don’t want to know it
Just about to watch the vid but that Blazing Saddles reference at the beginning broke me up. Thanks for that one. PS: I expect the video will be really good as per.
Can connect to bluetooth mic?
I'll telll you this. I bought one of the Yamaha silent amps... I'd like to tell you what it sounds like... but it's silent. I am assuming my guitar plating has become amazing. I will find out when my FGX5 comes in.
what fishman amp do you play through
That thing could be folded into a carry-on luggage size overhead rack thing I would have bought one already
💛💛💛💛💛
Yamaha is pretty much everyone’s first acoustic or electric guitar. After that, people are quick to ‘graduate’ to much more expensive instruments, to distance themselves from being seen as a novice. I came full circle ten years ago. I have 3 Silent guitars (1 x 110s and 2 x 200’s, S+N) Many acoustics/trans acoustic. Their live equipment is amazing. Mixers sound great and their PA’s are fantastic since they bought out NEXO. They also own Line 6, so all that tech is finding its way into their new products. Not to mention their piano’s and wind instruments etc. They usually have a big music showroom in major cities around the world, so if you travel, its a no brainier. You can visit any store world wide, and get warranty work carried out too, if needed. Just a great company, and always high quality and full of innovation. Also, did I mention value for money? Once you drop the ego and look beyond the label, you will find the other manufacturers are building inferior products, for a higher price! Life’s a LOT easier if you just accept that as a novice, you were right, first time!😂
You're totally right. I graduated back to a SLG a couple of months back. I play it more than any other acoustic - my Martin HD28 included - and it feels and sounds superb. The neck is a joy to behold.
They also make high performance car engines for Toyota etc. Yamaha rules.
So ironic. Everyone in my family including myself, started out with a Yamaha and eventually moved on to Martins and Taylor’s. Now here I sit at 54 actually considering purchasing the FG5. I finally got to try one on Friday and now can’t get it out of my head despite owning a beautiful little 400 series Taylor 25th anniversary edition. I think I might be calling them first thing next week to actually secure the guitar. They said they would hold the guitar for a week for me to take some time to think about buying it which I thought was very kind of them. Lol
Great review and superb guitars. It's a shame that it's mainlly promoted as a silent or practice guitar (i.e. not one that you would use on a gig)... all WRONG. They're naturally loud and resonant and the neck, pickup and tuners are superb. I've had mine for two months and it's now my natural go-to guitar. I also have an older THR amp than yours but the combination works really well. I use my SLG through a clean amp/channel on my Axe-FX3 and I'd use it over any other acoustic for recording.
A couple of errors on the amp. The tap button is for delay time on the effects. Also, it's class compliant, so should work with any DAW. My biggest complaint is the software is very buggy and unstable on both IPad and Android. Hardware is great though.
The Yamaha silent guitar only has a piezo and uses Yamaha’s SRT technology to model a real instrument, like an IR. Where did you get the information there is a mic in a wooden chamber?
Yes
My dream is to buy one of those, I can't play in my house classical guitar. I might put college on hold for s semestre to work full time in order to get one hehdhdhdhd.
Saw the guitar priced at about 500 pounds sterling here in the UK,which isnt too bad as I'm sure you could get a deal or two on it. I am always interested in hearing what the guitar sounds like with headphones from the view of somebody who is just a bystander,even if it means 5 or 10 seconds of silence. I find that through headphones a lot of guitars arent very silent at all.
Zero noise with headphones, when not strumming. I love mine. My in-law’s Fender Strat was terrible with headphones.
By stander will hear strumming like an electric guitar not plugged in.
It's anything but silent...mine is naturally resonant.
Hi there ! Great review. ! Question is it possible to connect your guitar wireless to some effect pedals and these effect pedals then connect (wireless or by cable) to the yamaha 30II wireless speaker ? Or is it better to add the effect pedals after the speaker ? What would be a good solution ?
Yes, Bluetooth available. I am still waiting for mine, sold out for months in 2021. I currently plug straight to my effects pedal.
Cool! You can hook up a printer to the USB port!
Hahaha
Hi. Plugged into my Acus acoustic amp, when I press the power on my silent guitar, I get a white noise/hiss. Does anybody else get this? Thanks.
Just seen this, I play mine through a Acus 5t and no problems
could be a guitar techs nightmare ,not sure my reaction to someone bringing this to me ,setup wouldnt be to bad ,im wondering about the bridge though ovation type ,but theres no strain on the top so who knows I may see 1 come to me 1 day ,practice guitar I guess
Easy to set up as a traditional acoustic guitar. I've owned two.
You already convinced me to buy a red label Yamaha acoustic and now this….!
Sounds bloody amazing wholy smokin' bat shit
What is the Canadian price?
The guitar seems to be about $1000 with tax, from my quick Google of it
No microphone chamber, only digital simulator of the piezo sound
Not sure why tonewoods are necessary in this application. An acoustic guitar is a “sound pump” by definition and tonewoods make a difference in the sound. The silent guitar employs a pickup solely to make sound, so the use of tonewoods doesn’t make sense. I would absolutely own one (I have owned several Yamaha acoustics), but I would prefer a graphite model for the durability factor.
Yamaha know what they are doing. Test play one yourself😉👍
😳Wow🤔Now why did you stop playing in a band?You can play guitar really good 👍!
Only thing I like in that setup is that lovely neck to be honest but then I'm an old school, old fashion, traditionalist type of a guy who still listens vinyl records through vintage valve amps and believes in the magic of good old wood.. ✌ Peace.
Why is there a pickguard. What is being guarded?
I've figured it out myself. It is not so much a pickguard as somewhere to rest the hand or pinky. I do it myself as a fingerpicker.
4:15 I'm sorry. No. There is no microphone in the Silent guitar, it is a modeled high-end Yamaha guitar that can be blended in with the under-saddle pickup.
From Yamaha's website: SRT Powered is a new system designed to recreate the body resonance of an acoustic guitar in a bodiless guitar. Yamaha developed SRT Powered, collaborating with recording artists to create a system tailored to the unique properties of the new SLG body and modeled after the tones of a high-end Yamaha acoustic guitar captured using a carefully selected microphone in a professional recording studio environment. By actually reproducing the sound of an acoustic guitar-right down to its natural sustain and decay-Yamaha lets guitarists experience the genuine body resonance, body tone and ambiance of an acoustic guitar.
SRT Powered sound can even be mixed with the sound from the instrument's piezo pickups, allowing guitarists to be even more flexible in their creative endeavors.
Because the SLG can virtually reproduce the sound of a guitar recorded with a microphone, players are free from complicated procedures involved in mic-ing up a guitar when recording at home or in other settings.

Zero hum and Yamaha quality sound! I adore mine especially through my effects pedal.
21:55 thank me later
Thank you.
i like Yamaha (I have a bunch of their instruments), but that sounded pretty unappealing to me.
Nope
Yeah, this is way to far out there for my liking. I’m sure it works and performs amazing if it’s made by Yamaha (considering they’re amazing reputation❤) but I would never be able to get used to even holding something like that. Plus I’m a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to music by most standards.
Et beh putain mon poulet tu t'es chopé du bon matos là 😮 😍👍👍 mais je préfère même pas imaginer le prix de l'ensemble 🥴😱
