Used Yamaha NTX1 - Natural

Yamaha NTX1 - Natural

If you have been searching for that unmistakable nylon-string warmth but struggle with the wide, chunky necks of traditional classical guitars, the Yamaha NTX1 is designed specifically for you. This instrument bridges the gap between the steel-string and nylon worlds, offering a sleek, comfortable playability that feels instantly familiar to electric and acoustic-steel players. The body depth is thinner than a standard classical, making it exceptionally comfortable to hold on stage or on the couch, while the cutaway grants you effortless access to the higher frets for adventurous lead playing.

Acoustically, the NTX1 punches well above its weight class. It features a solid Sitka Spruce top, a wood renowned for its strength and elasticity, which translates into a crisp, articulate attack that projects clearly. This is paired with Nato (or Okoume) back and sides, tonewoods that share many sonic characteristics with Mahogany, delivering a rich, warm midrange that rounds out the brightness of the spruce. The result is a balanced, versatile voice that sounds great unplugged but truly shines when amplified.

When you are ready to plug in, the onboard System73 pickup and preamp system captures the natural dynamics of the nylon strings without the quack or harshness often found in piezo systems. Whether you are adding a Latin flair to your setlist, exploring jazz chord melodies, or simply want a softer texture for fingerstyle ballads, the NTX1 offers professional tone in a package that won't fight your hands. It is a modern take on a timeless sound, perfect for the contemporary musician.
