NCX1FM NT Acoustic-Electric Nylon-String Classical Guitar With Flame Maple Back and Sides, Natural

I did MANY hours of research on the internets to find a good entry level guitar. This is the one. Super happy. Sounds even better plugged. Did not play guitar before purchase. Trusted the various reviews online. Did need slight adjustments, but comes from factory extremely playable . Had slight fret buzz. Needs some sanding. Typical. Other than that — You really can't go wrong.

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.

Esta guitarra es una obra maestra sonora y visual. Con una construcción artesanal, combina maderas de alta calidad para ofrecer un tono cálido y resonante. Los trastes perfectamente colocados facilitan la ejecución, mientras que el diseño estético y los detalles pulidos la convierten en una joya visual. Ya sea para principiantes entusiastas o músicos experimentados, esta guitarra es una elección que combina elegancia y rendimiento.

I really wanted to like this guitar, it looks absolutely gorgeous! It also sound great in all the videos I saw. But then I played it and... first, there was a lot of fret buzz, especially in the D string. It was unavoidable unless you press the string while touching the fret, which is not feasible when playing chords. The buzz was also there for the A and low E strings, but not as much. Now I know this can be fixed by a luthier, but the guitar is brand new, I expected better from Yamaha. That said, even when playing while ignoring the fret buzz, I found the sound lacking... it sounded way better plugged in. But unplugged, the sound really leaves a lot to be desired. This part is subjective, but it was the deal breaker for me, not the tone i want in a classical guitar. I want a guitar that sounds good both plugged in and unplugged, and this one wasn't it.

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.
