Yamaha NCX1 Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Natural

The Yamaha NCX1 is a modern nylon-string guitar that masterfully combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, making it a versatile instrument for classical players, crossover musicians, and performers alike. With its elegant single-cutaway body shape, the NCX1 not only provides timeless aesthetics but also extends easy access to the upper frets, allowing players to explore the full range of the instrument with comfort and precision.

Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top, the NCX1 delivers a bright and responsive tone with excellent projection, while its nato or okume back and sides add warmth and depth to the sound. The optimized bracing system enhances low-end response, ensuring a balanced tonal character that highlights the natural qualities of the tonewoods. The walnut fingerboard, featuring a flat radius and generous 11.8 mm string spacing, offers a familiar feel for classical guitarists while accommodating modern playing techniques with ease.

Visually striking, the NCX1 features refined appointments such as a natural gloss finish, circular rosette, and tasteful black and white body binding. Chrome tuners with matte black shafts complement the design while ensuring tuning stability.

For live performance and recording, the NCX1 is equipped with Yamaha’s SYSTEM73 electronics, including an undersaddle pickup, 3-band EQ, adjustable mid frequency control, and a built-in tuner. This system allows players to amplify their sound with clarity and flexibility, making the NCX1 as reliable on stage as it is inspiring at home.

With its blend of tradition, modern playability, and advanced electronics, the Yamaha NCX1 stands out as an instrument that appeals to nylon-string players of every level. It is designed not only to deliver warm, resonant tones but also to provide the comfort and versatility required for today’s demanding performances.
