The NTX1 acoustic-electric nylon-string guitar breaks down barriers between electric and classical playing styles with its modern design and comfortable neck profile that welcomes guitarists from all backgrounds. Built with strap buttons and exceptional amplified sound capabilities, this instrument particularly appeals to performing musicians who need reliable stage presence. Through precise measurement and experimentation, Yamaha has refined the guitar's low-frequency response while maintaining structural integrity, with optimisations tailored to specific tonewoods and body shapes.
At the heart of the NTX1's amplified performance lies the innovative Atmosfeel pickup system, which captures sound through multiple sources for unparalleled clarity even at performance volumes. An undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors focuses on mid and low-mid frequencies, eliminating the harsh brittleness typical of piezo systems, while a synthetic sheet transducer handles the high frequencies and an internal microphone captures the guitar's natural body resonance and spatial qualities.
The intuitive Atmosfeel preamp features simplified controls that allow quick sound adjustments without requiring visual reference to the settings. Musicians can easily blend microphone sound with the premixed pickup signal, making it straightforward to dial in desired tones during performance. The guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with Nato or Okume back and sides, walnut fingerboard, and comes equipped with a 3-band EQ preamp with built-in tuner, medium tension strings, and essential accessories including hex wrench and batteries.
