This could kill your Yamaha SLG200N or SLG200S silent guitar. Battery holder box replacement

A detailed overview of your settings and how you record would be amazing. I bought the steel string version years ago and was disappointed with how it sounds in recordings. I gave up on it and havn't picked it up in quite a while. I bought it specifically to record, because it was getting such great reviews, and I thought using direct input would eliminate issues I was having trying to record acoustic guitar with microphones. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@guitar-academy]

Thank you . . . Yes, I gave up using the steel strung version for about a year but I was using the nylon strung version which I found sounded far more authentic. I've started using the steel strung version again and I've managed to get a good sound to record with, but it took ages. One thing I think it depends on is your style of play. It's easier to get a nice fingerstyle sound than a strumming style sound (on my setup). 🤔

ihad the same problem with the slg200n. i absolutely love the guitar. i bought it specifically for late night hotel room practicing but it quickly became my go-to every day guitar. i even use it on stage fequently now and i record with it a lot. been playing it for a couple of years. started having the battery pack problem about a year in. it started with sporadic connection problems and then got chronic. i soved it first by popping a little ball tin foil on the positive contact in the battery box. then i used a small metal washer. both worked but were clumsy and made the battery drain a bit faster. then i found the replacement battery pack. i 've been playing on it for about a year and don't seem to be developing the problem with this one.

I'm really glad you got it sorted, especially as you use the guitar so much 😊😀

[@thomasseehaus3670]

Thank you for the video. Good to know. I have the SLG200NW. The guitar came with lousy strings. The D-string already broke on the second day. Using Savarez 510 AR Alliance Cantiga strings the bass was too strong for my taste. I ended up with Thomastik KR116 that sound awesome on this guitar. Additionally I had a nearby luthier replace the saddle and nut with bone and also lowering the action. Now I love this guitar!

[@guitar-academy]

It sounds like you've got it set up just the way you want now 😊😀 You can help me . . can you tell me, Does the battery housing look the same as the one I replace in this video ?

[@thomasseehaus3670]

@@guitar-academy Yes, it looks identically.

[@guitar-academy]

@@thomasseehaus3670 Brilliant . . thank you for that 😊😀

Piezo pickup also mess up. Many of them sound not balance. Sometime, so boomy on 6th string, sometimes quiet. The battery holder is easy to fix. just need to pull back the metal pin inside. im using a thin wire, and just pull it up slowly.

[@guitar-academy]

That's a common problem on all piezo pickups. I've only seen that problem being a bad problem when the bottom of the saddle isn't completely flat, usually when the actions been lowered. It's easy to fix, I'll have to do a video on it. 😒

[@jamalarakian4189]

@@guitar-academy maybe. but i have try to gauge the flatness and file the saddle as flat as i can. im not sure in micro millimetre make a different

[@guitar-academy]

@@jamalarakian4189 That is strange 🤔 . . . one trick you can try is to put a small piece of paper just under the quite strings. It's very fidgety but works a lot of the time.

Very detailed 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks

Thank you 😊😀

Hi,my battery box broke. I see that they give a different number ZJ993601. Is it the same with 668000?  

[@guitar-academy]

I believe it is the same, but I haven't tested it myself 😊😀

[@GoldenToothBrush]

I like this guitar, however I have found on mine that the intonation is a little sharp, another issue is buzzing the on lower strings. Any ideas how I could go about fixing this? I'm tuned down a half step, could this be contributing to the issues?

[@guitar-academy]

Yes tuning the guitar down half a step will contribute toward buzz. The nut could be too low or the neck relief might be wrong. I can't explain how to test or fix this in text but this video might help; kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4O2coSlmLeSqLs

@@guitar-academy Thank you!

[@guitar-academy]

@@GoldenToothBrush No problem 😊

[@Jack.Waters]

Good to know. Well done. 👍 I sent you some a couple photos of Grandfather and Great Grandfather that my Archivist daughter found. Be well.

[@guitar-academy]

Thanks Jack . . Great stuff . . I'll take a look . . 😊😀

[@reveller]

Thanks for this. Excellent. The main problem I have with mine is that the rest is never tight and wobbles a little. The strap buttons also become loose when standing and playing, so I have to keep checking them to tighten them. Have you come across this at all? Any solutions? I've had the guitar around 6 years now and love it apart from the rest issue.

[@guitar-academy]

Thanks for sharing! I don't have that problem but I'll have to look into it to see if anyone has found a good solution, it would make a good video 😊😀

[@reveller]

@@guitar-academy thanks for this. It would be good to find a solution. All the best to you.

[@reltheartist-topic801]

[@blueeyedsoulman]
