My wife bought me this guitar this past Christmas and honestly it's one of the best song writing guitars I've ever had - Yamaha silent nylon string guitar.
The tone is about the volume of an electric guitar unplugged, or less, but I find the time pleasant and I play it without headphones all the time. I was debating between some other thin-line nylon string guitars, but I didn't love the acoustic tone of the others, even the $2000 Godins. Yamaha just got rid of the body altogether and uses sound modeling in the onboard electronics to get good amplified sound.
I play it with headphones and it sounds excellent, and it sounds great plugged into an amp.
