Yamaha NCX1FM Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Natural

The Yamaha NCX1FM acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar is a premium model within Yamaha’s acclaimed NX Series, designed for players who value both the classic sound of nylon strings and the convenience of modern electronics. With its elegant flamed maple back and sides, paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, the NCX1FM delivers a bright, clear, and resonant tone that balances warmth with sparkling articulation. Its contemporary single-cutaway design not only enhances stage presence but also allows easy access to higher frets, making it highly versatile for modern performance needs.

Built for traditional nylon-string players, the NCX1FM features a full-depth body and a standard 52mm nut width, preserving the feel of a classical guitar while adding modern refinements such as strap buttons and performance-ready hardware. The walnut fingerboard and nato neck ensure smooth playability and stability, while an ebony-and-walnut bridge adds durability and tonal richness. The clear tap plate and tasteful black-and-white binding complement the flamed maple body, giving the guitar a refined visual appeal.

At the heart of the NCX1FM lies Yamaha’s advanced Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system, engineered to deliver the most natural amplified tone possible. Its innovative three-part design includes an undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors for mid and low frequencies, a synthetic sheet transducer to capture high frequencies, and an internal microphone for body resonance and natural airiness. Combined, they eliminate the harsh edge of traditional piezos, producing a rich, authentic amplified sound even at stage volume. The onboard SYSTEM73 preamp offers intuitive volume, 3-band EQ, adjustable mid frequency, and tuner controls for effortless sound shaping.

With its blend of classical tradition, modern electronics, and striking maple aesthetics, the Yamaha NCX1FM is ideal for serious nylon-string performers who demand tonal quality, comfort, and reliability on stage and in the studio.
