I have a THR5 and it is surprisingly good for such a small unit. I wish I had opted for the THR10 though. The features are better along with being able to save customizations, where the THR5 has to be connected to a computer. It seems like a very good choice for your intended use. Go with the '10 though. You will not be disappointed.

The THR5A would be the best amp/preamp you could get for that particular guitar. Use the nylon modeler.
For more oomph/louder sound output, you could line out from the headphone jack into a powered speaker. For the remaining $300, give the Yamaha DBR10 a try (probably have to go used on that to stay within budget). The THR amps are excellent for recording and silent practice. Versatile too as it has onboard effects and that particular amp will be suitable for steel string ac. el. as well as electric guitar. The THR5A has the same sound output power as the THR10. The only thing you're getting with the 10 is 3 band eq and aux volume control and 3 programmable presets. The 10 DOES NOT have the nylon guitar modeler that would make your silent guitar sound perfect. Plus the THR5A is $100 less.

I have both the mini and the charge use depends on the gig. When the gig is outdoor generator powered I use the charge.

+2 for the LB mini. Well under your budget new and used even better. If you need more volume use the line out to a powered speaker you buy with the balance of your budget. I use Alto Troupers on stands-plenty of head room for the gigs we play.

FT THOMAS: Just curious. You mention that the THR5A has to be connected to a computer if you want to save customizations, what software do you use to do that?
YamahaGuy: It sounds like the THR5A is a better option for me due to the Nylon modeler. Thank you for providing this inofrmation. Any idea on how it compares to the Fishman Loudbox Mini in terms of sound quality? Regarding Fishman Loudbox Mini. How does it compare to the THR5A? I'm just planning og playing for some friends and for mysel, but i do really prefere good audio

The Loudbox will have much more amplitude than the THR5A, but if you're playing for friends and yourself, you'll have plenty of volume for that with the THR5A. I would use my THR5 in small houses of worship and it was loud enough for 25 people in a worship setting. The Loudbox mini is more of a small venue gigging amp, whereas the THR5A is a practice amp. Also, the Loudbox offers another channel for a microphone, so it is in effect a portable PA system.
As for actual sound quality, the THR amps are often described as having hi fidelity sound. It is stereo output from the two speakers. The Loudbox to my knowledge is monaural. The clarity from the Yamaha is superb and the bass response will surprise you. The software to hookup is I believe Yamaha's own THR editor software and is fairly intuitive. Also, if you are an Android user, there is a Google Play app called THR library.

YmahaGuy, I thin kyou've sold me the THR5A, it sound perfect for what i need it for.
So the SLG200nw Has a nylon Modeler but with the added nylon moduler of the THR5A, the sound should be great if i understand correctly
