An NTX Designed for Today's Guitarists
The NTX1 Natural embodies the core spirit of the NTX series: offering a nylon-string guitar with modern comfort, smooth playability, and effective amplification. It positions itself as a versatile instrument designed for musicians seeking the warmth of nylon while retaining contemporary playing references, especially for recording and stage use.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This guitar is particularly aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists looking for an easy-to-play nylon guitar, but it will also suit advanced musicians in search of a reliable instrument for accompaniment, recording, or amplified playing. Its "all-rounder" DNA makes it suitable for Latin rhythms, jazz voicings, acoustic pop, or softer rock textures where the clarity of nylon strings makes a difference.
The Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers a quick response and excellent note-to-note clarity, ideal for enriched chords and melodic parts. The nato or okoumé back and sides provide warm midrange and a natural balance with consistent projection. When plugged in, the guitar relies on a piezo pickup under the saddle: an effective solution for obtaining a precise and usable signal, with a clear attack and good definition, especially appreciated in a band context.

Customers praised this classical guitar for its thinner neck, excellent build quality, and versatility when amplified. Many noted "very good value for price" with outstanding finish. The narrower 48mm nut makes it easier to play, especially for barre chords. Some mentioned stock strings should be replaced for optimal performance.

A very good value for money instrument in my opinion. Very correct lutherie. The acoustic sound seems to me to be quite well balanced despite more presence in the bass strings than in the treble ones. The amplified sound seems particularly interesting to me.
Accustomed to guitars with a 44 mm nut, I wanted to approach a nylon string instrument with a 48 mm nut that was smaller than the 52 mm nut, which is usual for classical guitars. Another brand offered this characteristic in my research.
I chose this brand according to the opinion of a guitarist around me for whom it is better to favor the Piezzo amplification system than a microphone system for reasons of Larsen effect... Having no knowledge in the field, I do not guarantee the accuracy of this statement, simply such was my criterion of choice.I am an average guitarist, after a few days of testing I think I have found an instrument that suits me perfectly in terms of price and characteristics.
For a much more impartial opinion, it would have been necessary to be able to try several instruments with similar characteristics, which now seems rather complicated...Automatically translated

Very good product. Excellent workmanship Guitar less sonorous, producing to my taste less clear and velvety notes than the NCX of the same brand when it is not connected but very efficient in amp output. In addition, the neck that is narrower than the usual classical guitars is very useful, especially for performing barred chords.
The delivery was once again super fast. And the guitar arrived well protected, in perfect condition.Automatically translated

Very nice finish, absolutely nothing to say about the quality of manufacture of this guitar. It is very pleasant to play with an engaging sound and an astonishing projection for this price range. I am thrilled.

Classical guitar with a thinner neck, similar to a folk guitar. Very easy to play and very nice amplified. A versatile sound, very clear in arpeggio. Strings to change to meet my expectations.
