Yamaha NCX1C Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Nylon Guitar Natural

The NCX1 acoustic-electric guitar combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create an instrument that excels both on stage and in the studio. Its contemporary styling paired with a familiar neck profile makes it an ideal choice for nylon-string players who demand superior amplified performance. The inclusion of strap buttons demonstrates Yamaha’s understanding of the performing guitarist’s needs.

At the heart of this instrument lies the revolutionary Yamaha Atmosfeel pickup system, engineered to provide exceptional amplified sound even at high performance volumes. The system features an undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors that focus on mid and low-mid frequencies, effectively eliminating the harsh brittleness typically associated with piezo technology. A specialised synthetic sheet transducer handles the high frequencies, while an internal microphone captures the guitar’s natural body resonance and acoustic “airiness.”

The Atmosfeel preamp offers straightforward, intuitive controls that allow musicians to blend the microphone signal with the pre-mixed pickup sound. This simplified control layout enables quick adjustments during performance without requiring visual reference to the controls, making it particularly valuable for stage work where lighting conditions may be challenging.
