An updated take on the nylon acoustic
The NTX3 has been painstakingly designed by Yamaha to provide the best performance possible. Along with the low action of the ebony fingerboard, this acoustic-electric has a deep cutaway that gives you unrestricted access to the highest frets. In addition, Yamaha's forward-thinking design team refined the bracing pattern to improve bass response and increase the volume without compromising any structural integrity. You can expect an airy tone with a well-defined attack and mellow bass.
All-solid tonewoods create tons of resonance
The Yamaha NTX3 was crafted with all-solid tonewoods. The most obvious reason for this design choice is to take advantage of the natural resonance of the wood. This instrument's cutaway body is made with a sitka spruce top which showcases the punchy attack it's known for. Further, walnut back and sides add warm overtones with a pleasing low-end response. Built by master craftsmen with the best wood available, you can be assured that this Yamaha acoustic is every bit the purebred classical guitar it's billed to be.
Atmosfeel electronics ensure first-rate plugged-in tone
The Red Label NTX3 is equipped with Yamaha’s Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system. This innovative system lends a natural, three-dimensional sound to your guitar via a 3-way sensor setup. A piezo under-saddle sensor picks up sound where the strings meet the bridge, while an internal microphone captures the guitar’s internal resonance and a sheet sensor picks up vibrations from its soundboard. A Mic Blend knob enables you to blend the mic signal with the piezo. A treble EQ knob shapes the tone. You also get a Master Volume control.
