    • Superb Entry Level Classical Guitar /
Style: NCX1 Flame Maple Back Color: 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. ... show more

    • Great price for a great classical nylon-stringed guitar!
Style: NTX1 Color: Black
I love this guitar. It came stringed and ready to play out of the box. It takes two AA batteries. The built-in tuner works fantastically. After regular string break-in, it holds the tuning well. When I first learned to play guitar as a child, I had a Yamaha classical guitar. I opted for the black finish and it came without a blemish. It did not require any adjustment to the tress, but an Allen wrench was included. This guitar, for a mid-range priced affordable replacement of that childhood guitar, is a huge upgrade. It has a very intuitive crossover that readily and easily changes the dynamic sound through and amplifier. And, at this price point, you will be hard-pressed to find a factory classical guitar that delivers like this one. 10/10 ... show more

    • Having fun 👌
Style: NTX1 Color: Brown Sunburst
I'm trying to learn to play the guitar at 72 years old (I just retired and this was on my bucket list…lol). I also have a Taylor 600 that I bought in the late 80’s and hardly touched because I could not practice enough to make it past the finger pain (traveling all the time). This guitar so easy to pick up, do a quick tune-up with the onboard tuner and play with little finger pain, I spend 1-2 hours per day practicing with Cordify and Justin's Guitar lesson. I don't sound good but the guitar does. It is well-made and looks great. Everything I have ever purchased from Yamaha has been great and fairly priced. There is no shortage of guitars in this price range $400-500+- and I did a lot of reading on the options. I am confident that to get the same quality from another manufacturer, I would have had to pay $300+- more. ... show more

    • Well-balanced tone, blended pickup, excellent percussion
Style: NTX3 Color: 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. ... show more

    • Yamaha rocks.
Style: NTX1 Color: Brown Sunburst
Review Image by Alex Alex
The Yamaha NTX1 Is a great guitar. The craftsmanship is the next level, same as the sound quality. The amplifier control is a tuner as well. I love that feature. Small enough to be very easy to handle, and big enough to give the feeling of a full size guitar. I have two acoustic guitars, a Taylor and my new Yamaha. This Yamaha NTX1 is as bit as good as my Taylor if not better in some ways, and that is a lot to say knowing the quality of the Taylor guitars. Don’t let don’t Let The Price fool you, the guitar is really worth it. ... show more
