Yamaha NTX1 NT Acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar

Great instrument for the money! Size is a bit small for a "Spanish" type guitar, but it stands behind its "...for electric guitarists" concept. Bottom line: Nothing short of Yamaha!

for the price point its a good choice , product was flawless, sounds good , it needed some set up but that was expected

Un son formidable, plaisir de jouer. je vous la recommande.

I had been singing and playing guitar my whole life, it is my favorite pastime. I was a songwriter some decades ago; since then, my guitar skills became somewhat stagnant, and I decided to come back to the hobby, leaning new styles and do some recording. I mostly play arpeggio/fingerstyle. On a whim, I bought Yamaha NTX1 when it went on sale here. I liked the guitar, looks nice, plays easy, the tone is balanced, I can use it for recording provided the mic is added because the installed pickup is basic piezo. The only thing I do not like is how low it is as an acoustic. I am not a guitar guru, I have only 2 guitars to compare to -- both nylon -- the venerable classic Resonata (made in DDR in the 70s, all layered wood but still sounds ok), and also classic all solid wood one made by Sergio Zepeda from early 00s in Nicaragua. This one is nice instrument. Both are way better acoustically compared to the NCX, especially the Zepeda's. I compared the guitars, and it looks like the top wood of Yamaha is way too thick (3.5mm vs 2mm for the others). It is instantly noticeable when one taps under the bridge: NCX1 sound is lower/dull, other two are the same and way higher/crispier tone. So, I am pondering sending it back and buying a different crossover. NCX5 may be, or another brand altogether. Not this time Yamaha!

Fantastic guitar! After locally purchasing two different Cordobas and having to return them I decided to give this one a try. Great quality, great sound and resonance, great action out of the box and quick shipping!
