The Yamaha NX Series represents a bold step forward for nylon-string guitars, bringing together contemporary design, superb playability, and advanced electronics. Designed for live performers and recording artists, these instruments deliver a perfect balance between authentic nylon-string tone and modern comfort, appealing to both seasoned classical guitarists and players transitioning from steel-string or electric guitars.
The NX Series is offered in two main body styles: NTX and NCX. The NTX models are ideal for electric and steel-string players, featuring a slimmer neck profile, reduced nut width, and a thinline body design for maximum comfort on stage. Their oval rosette and sleek cutaway styling give them a modern edge. By contrast, the NCX models retain a traditional neck profile and classical body depth, making them a natural choice for experienced nylon-string players seeking an authentic feel with improved stage capability.
Yamaha’s legendary craftsmanship ensures exceptional tone and playability across the range. Each guitar is built with premium tonewoods, precise bracing designs tailored to body shape, and tasteful appointments that combine tradition with modern aesthetics. The refined bracing pattern enhances low-frequency response and resonance, delivering a full, expressive voice that adapts beautifully to solo or ensemble performance.
Four models in the lineup feature Yamaha’s unparalleled Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system. This advanced system uses an undersaddle piezo with individual string sensors for low and mid frequencies, a unique synthetic sheet transducer for highs, and an internal microphone to capture body resonance. Together, these components provide a natural, dynamic amplified sound that remains consistent even at high stage volumes.
With intuitive Atmosfeel controls, premium construction, and options for both traditionalists and crossover players, the Yamaha NX Series redefines what nylon-string guitars can be in the modern era.
