Collapsible and Silent Guitar

So electric guitars may not be the worst instrument to carry around with you but that hasn’t stopped Yamaha creating a version which won’t annoy your neighbours and will collapse into a bag.

Yamaha’s Silent Guitar was first released in December 2001 and sells 10,000 to 20,000 units annually.

The Guitar’s ‘neighbour friendly’ qualities are perhaps its attraction.

The instrument can be listened to via headphones, yet maintains an acoustic sound- making the invention perfect for practice sessions.

What’s more the sleek design of the piece means it can easily collapse into smaller parts, making transportation a doddle.

Yamaha has now for the first time updated the popular guitar and is set to release three new models this October, each with enhanced sound quality and chorus and echo sound effects.
