Classical Guitar for the Modern Player

Yamaha’s NCX1 nylon-string guitar brings traditional craftsmanship into the modern era, with a familiar feel and touchstone appointments with cutting edge design elements. The NCX1 has an elegant, single-cutaway body shape that extends access to the upper frets, along with a flat radius walnut fingerboard with generous 11.8mm string-spacing. Overflowing with character, the NCX1 will appeal to nylon-string players of every level and impresses with a warm and resonant sound with ample projection. For performances where amplification is necessary, the NCX1 is equipped with an undersaddle preamp, 3-band EQ, and built-in tuner. Available at Sweetwater, the Yamaha NCX1 is a modern nylon-string guitar that’s impossible to put down.

Familiar Feel and Modern Performance

Yamaha’s NCX1 pairs a sharp, single-cutaway design with a traditional neck profile and width and standard classical guitar body depth for a familiar feel that appeals to players experienced with nylon guitars. The flat radius walnut fingerboard is a wide and comfortable canvas for painting musical lines in bright and woody hues. The Yamaha NCX1 has a deeply resonant character with plenty of natural projection, and its solid Sitka spruce soundboard contributes bright, snappy top end.

Updated, optimized bracing system

Yamaha’s team of designers and luthiers delved deeply into the science and art of bracing design when developing the NX Series of classical guitars. Through thoughtful experimentation and precise measurement, they identified opportunities to refine the NX bracing system, enhancing the low-end resonance of the instrument and drawing out more of the natural character of the selected tonewoods and qualities inherent to specific body shapes.

Premium Onboard Electronics

Your NTX1 is ready to plug in and play out. Its undersaddle pickup is powered by an advanced Yamaha preamp system, with onboard 3-band EQ to let you sculpt your sound from the stage. The NTX1 also features an onboard tuner, so you can leave your pedals at home.

Reviews

Equal to guitars double the price
Before reading, note that I'm a classical/flamenco/jazz focused guitarist who dabbles in other genres.

Aside from the amazing sweetwater service and damage free shipping, I opened it and found it sounded literally exactly like the 800 to 1200 dollar Taylors I played... It was a smooth resonant warm roar that is very characteristic of those other Taylors. Build quality is superb, and once again, as flawless as those taylors. I like a brighter sound for classical and flamenco so simply replace the strings with savarez, but the stock strings are still great for most other types. Pleasantly surprised to find it had a nice tap plate, and strap attachments while maintaining the classical style kneck (which is what I was aiming for, I need that 52mm nut width). No fret buzz, perfect action. This is a steal for the price.

Sounds great plugged into my Fishman amp as well (strap is mine)

I got a GC32C and an SLG200N, but this one gets more use. Love my Yamahas.

Plugged in has such a crisp sound-many levels to choose from...I also have The nylon Silent Guitar from Yamaha which is like a piece of elegant furniture... Have always said for the money Yamaha makes the Best nylon string guitars Plus the customer service is the best

Sounds great Plugged and Unplugged.
Funny how I always wanted a Maple Nylon string guitar but ordered another model... it was out of stock---after changing my order and receiving this --- it was like DA - you always ready wanted to order this one.
In the end this is a beauty --something about the neck, I can't figure out- so smooth and the right width. Love it -play it every night - even though I have more expensive brand named guitars ..
