Description
PRELOVED YAMAHA NTX1 Classical Guitar
The Yamaha NTX1 is a modern nylon-string guitar designed for players who want the warmth and feel of a classical guitar without committing to a traditional wide-neck classical design.
With its slimmer 48mm nut width, cutaway body, radiused fingerboard and onboard pickup system, the NTX1 feels immediately more approachable for steel-string and electric guitar players. It still gives you the softer response and distinctive tone of nylon strings, but in a format that works just as comfortably on stage, in the studio or at home.
This preloved Yamaha NTX1 is in excellent condition, has been freshly restrung and is ready to play.
A Nylon-String Guitar for Steel-String Players
One of the biggest differences between the NTX1 and a traditional classical guitar is the neck.
The NTX1 uses a 48mm nut width rather than the wider 52mm classical format, along with a radiused fingerboard. That makes it feel more familiar under the left hand if you're coming from an acoustic or electric guitar.
You still get the extra string spacing and softer feel associated with nylon strings, just without such a dramatic change in playing technique.
Solid Sitka Spruce Top
The NTX1 features a solid Sitka spruce top, giving the guitar a clear and responsive acoustic voice.
Spruce provides plenty of definition for fingerstyle playing while retaining enough projection and dynamic range for strummed accompaniment.
The back and sides are made from nato or okoume, giving the NTX1 a balanced, warm overall response.
Comfortable Cutaway Body
The NTX body shape is slimmer and more contemporary than a traditional classical guitar.
Its cutaway provides much easier access to the upper frets, making the NTX1 particularly useful for melodic playing, jazz, Latin styles and modern fingerstyle arrangements.
The reduced body depth also makes it comfortable to hold for longer playing sessions.
Built-In Yamaha Electronics
The NTX1 is equipped with Yamaha's SYSTEM73 pickup and preamp system, so it can be connected directly to an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording setup.
Controls include:
-
Volume
-
3-band EQ
