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 Music Experience, the Yamaha NCX1 is a modern nylon-string guitar that's impossible to put down.
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 Western red cedar soundboard contributes a dark tonality with an open top end that sounds broken-in right out of the box.
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.
Your NCX1 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 NCX1 also features an onboard tuner, so you can leave your pedals at home.
The NCX1 acoustic-electric guitar’s contemporary appearance, traditional neck profile, and advanced electronics make it an excellent choice for nylon-string players seeking superior amplified sound, while its strap buttons and exceptional amplified sound make it especially appealing to performing guitarists.
