NTX3 NT Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Nylon-String Classical Guitar With Reinforced Carrying Bag , Natural

I’ve owned several high-end steel string acoustic guitars ( Alvarez GY-1, Taylor XXX-MS, Goodall RCJC ) but this mass-produced, made in China nylon string is my favorite. It has an extremely well-balanced tone which delivers deep bass without draining out the treble. Percussion sounds incredible acoustically and translates very well through the blended pickup. If you do a lot of taps, slaps, and rhythmic finger style techniques then this guitar will deliver where others fall short. It delivers a very broad and resonating sound that will elevate your songwriting and performance. Many of the techniques I struggled with on a steel string are much more manageable and audible with this nylon string while still providing a very familiar feel. Despite the narrow body and cutaway I found that it has a pretty decent volume and the blended pickup is ready to go if you need more punch. I’ve always been impressed with Japanese instruments and this is no exception. The design of the guitar is top notch and I love the natural tone of the sitka spruce and the minimalist look of unmarked fingerboard. It was the aesthetics that initially caught my eye but the specs, blended pickup system, and the way it handles percussion are ultimately what sold me. Mine had a couple minor cosmetic issues which included several nicks on the neck in an isolated area as well as a small dent on the back which had occurred prior to the clear coat being applied. This model is made in China but they do offer a higher-end model that’s finished in Japan although it may not fit the budget. I did notice some rogue vibrations and twanginess in certain instances that could be problematic for recording in a professional setting. However, I was able to overcome them with some precision but this could be problematic for some people.

good acoustic tone, but great pickup setup! Sounds brilliant through a Fishman acoustic amp.

I just received this guitar a week ago. I have already played it extensively and am very pleased with it. It is an easy player, as I’d hoped, and the Atmosfeel system is as good as I’d hoped also. I already have a fleet of Yamaha guitars so I am a fan. I have especially liked the SRT pickup system for better acoustic sound, and this Atmosfeel system should make a good successor. I can manage a very decent live acoustic sound with it, and that’s remarkable with a nylon stringed guitar. A very user friendly, adaptable guitar.

I purchased this guitar seeing a 30 day return policy with no stipulations or limitations noted. When I received the guitar, I found that it had a extremly thin or muted sound and a more difficult 6th string thumb reach. The pick up was crap. So, when I returned it, it was only then that they provided the vague return policy language that revealed charging you both shipping and restocking fees of approximately $150. And you needed to scan the printer shipping receipt printout where they cleverly had the language buried. Go with the smaller vendors like Quinn Violins, where they allow you to play and return for no fees (unless damaged). I didn't need to return a guitar I bought at Quinn Violins, but it was nice to know I could. What sense does it make to purchase $1,000 guitar online if you can't back up its playability and sound?

O violão é muito bem construído, as madeiras são maciças (nogueira nas laterais, muito bonita, abeto no tampo, ébano na escala e mogno no braço) o violão é flat, com sistema triplo de captação atmosfeel e largura na pestana de 48 mm (o tradicional clássico é de 52 mm). Pestana e rastilho são de material sintético urea. Segura bem a afinação, tenho há quase 1 ano e não apresentou nenhum defeito de construção ou acabamento. Vem com bolsa de transporte própria da Yamaha que é um show a parte, muito bem construída e no formato preciso do violão, melhor que um hardcase na minha opinião. Muito confortável de tocar e para mim que tenho mãos pequenas facilita bastante ter escala curva com menor largura, parecido com uma guitarra. Os compositores e músicos Rodrigo y Gabriela utilizam a versão top ele com a NTX 5e ela com a NCX 5 que tem medidas de violão clássico. Ótima aquisição, valor justo pela qualidade do material, quem toca plugado vai amar, quem toca apenas acústico pode preferir a linha GC 10 S( tampo abeto) ou C (tampo cedro) que são violões sem cutway e 100% formato clássico todos de madeira sólida e boa qualidade sonora e de construção.
