The Yamaha NTX1 acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar is designed for performers who want to enjoy the warmth and elegance of nylon strings while benefiting from the comfort and familiarity of a modern steel-string or electric guitar. As part of Yamaha’s innovative NX Series, the NTX1 makes the transition into nylon-string playing seamless by combining stage-ready electronics, contemporary ergonomics, and premium tonewoods.
At its core, the NTX1 features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with slim nato back and sides, producing a balanced, articulate tone with excellent projection. The advanced NX bracing system enhances low-end response without compromising clarity, resulting in a voice that’s both full and expressive. Its cutaway body design not only provides easy upper-fret access but also makes the guitar exceptionally comfortable for extended playing sessions on stage or in the studio.
Unlike traditional classical guitars, the NTX1 is built with modern players in mind. The slim-profile neck and reduced 1-7/8″ nut spacing allow for effortless chord changes and fast lead work, making it especially appealing for steel-string and electric guitarists exploring nylon tones. The walnut fingerboard features a flat 23-5/8″ radius, offering smooth playability and precise articulation for both fingerstyle and chord-based techniques.
For amplified performances, the NTX1 is equipped with Yamaha’s advanced undersaddle pickup system paired with a convenient 3-band EQ and built-in tuner. This setup delivers a natural, well-balanced tone with the flexibility to adjust your sound for any live setting, from small acoustic venues to larger stages.
Blending classical tradition with modern comfort, the Yamaha NTX1 is the ideal choice for players seeking a versatile nylon-string guitar that excels both unplugged and plugged in.
