Yamaha NCX1C Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Natural

The Yamaha NCX1 acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar is crafted for players who seek the rich tonal beauty of nylon strings combined with reliable stage-ready electronics. With a refined balance of tradition and modernity, it features a familiar neck profile and body depth that make it comfortable for classical players, while its sleek single-cutaway design extends access to upper frets for contemporary performers.

Built with high-quality tonewoods, the NCX1 is available with either a solid cedar or solid spruce top, paired with nato back and sides for a warm, resonant sound. The walnut fingerboard provides smooth playability, while the nato neck ensures stability and durability. Together, these materials create a well-rounded tonal palette with warmth, clarity, and projection, suitable for a variety of playing styles.

The standout feature of the NCX1 is its advanced Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system, which captures a remarkably natural amplified tone even at high performance volumes. Unlike traditional piezo systems, Atmosfeel uses a unique three-way design: an undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors for mid and low frequencies, a synthetic sheet transducer for high frequencies, and an internal microphone that reproduces body resonance and natural “airiness.” This combination eliminates the harsh brittleness often associated with piezo pickups, resulting in a full, authentic sound when plugged in. Intuitive onboard controls allow quick and simple blending of tones, giving performers the flexibility to shape their sound effortlessly.

Designed with performance in mind, the NCX1 includes strap buttons and a built-in tuner, making it stage-ready out of the box. Its natural gloss finish, elegant rosette, and contemporary styling add to its visual appeal. Ideal for musicians who need both authentic acoustic tone and dependable amplification, the Yamaha NCX1 is a versatile nylon-string guitar that shines on stage, in the studio, or at home.
