Description

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.

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.”

NCX5
The NCX5 acoustic-electric, nylon-string guitar’s contemporary appearance, traditional neck profile and Atmosfeel™ pickup system make it an excellent choice for professional, nylon-string players seeking superior amplified sound at performance-level volumes.
