Yamaha NCX1C Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Guitar

A traditional nylon-string feel with modern performance capability.

The Yamaha NCX1C is designed for players who want the warmth and response of a classical guitar with the added flexibility of modern amplification. Built on a traditional classical body platform, it offers a familiar feel for nylon-string players while integrating features that make it suitable for stage and studio use.

The full-size classical body delivers a rich, rounded tone with strong low-end warmth and smooth high frequencies. Its wider neck profile provides the spacing needed for precise fingerstyle technique, making it well-suited for classical repertoire, fingerstyle arrangements, and expressive solo playing.

Equipped with Yamaha’s Atmosfeel pickup system, the NCX1C captures the natural character of the instrument with clarity and depth. Whether performing live or recording direct, it provides a dynamic and realistic amplified tone without the harshness often associated with traditional piezo systems.

This model features a cutaway design, allowing easier access to higher frets without compromising the integrity of the classical body shape.
