Yamaha - NCX3

Description

New NX Series

The NX Series® features contemporary body styles and proprietary preamp and pickup systems developed with the needs of live performers in mind. NX Series guitars will appeal to both accomplished nylon-string players in search of superior amplified sound and electric and steel-string players seeking to explore the beauty of nylon-string sounds.

NCX3
The NCX3 acoustic-electric, nylon-string guitar's contemporary appearance, traditional neck profile and Atmosfeel™ pickup system make it an excellent choice for accomplished nylon-string players seeking superior amplified sound.

Bracing
As a result of precise measurement and experimentation, several refinements were made that enhance low-frequency response without compromising durability. These changes were further refined to emphasize the natural characteristics of specific tonewoods and optimize each body silhouette.

Atmosfeel™ Pickup and Preamp System
The Yamaha Atmosfeel™ pickup system provides unparalleled amplified sound even at performance-level volumes. An undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors captures only the mid and low-mid frequencies (eliminating the characteristic brittleness of piezo pickups), while a unique synthetic sheet transducer captures the highs, and an internal microphone captures overall body resonance and airiness.

Atmosfeel™ Controls
The simple and intuitive Atmosfeel™ preamp controls let you blend the microphone sound into the premixed pickup sound.

These simplified controls mean that guitarists are able to dial in the desired settings quickly and without the need to actually look at the controls.

Features
* Exceptional amplified sound at performance-level volumes
* Solid Sitka spruce top
* Solid walnut back and sides
* Walnut fingerboard
* Performance-friendly strap buttons
