The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Nylon strings delivering warm, mellow tone perfect for fingerstyle and classical playing. Wider neck spacing giving each finger room to articulate cleanly. Gentle string tension making playing comfortable for extended practice sessions. A tonal character that's completely unique in the guitar world.
Invest in quality nylon strings (D'Addario Pro-Arte are our go-to recommendation) and give them 2-3 days to settle after changing. The tone gets richer each day as the strings stretch and stabilize.
A nylon-string guitar offers warmth and expressiveness that no other instrument can replicate. Every note has a rounded, singing quality that responds to your subtlest touch. Whether playing classical, bossa nova, or contemporary fingerstyle, this guitar turns technique into art.

FEATURES
Style
With their sleek single-cutaway body shapes, appealing wood choices, colorful rosette patterns, and tasteful appointments, NX Series guitars are designed for contemporary players seeking the perfect combination of comfort and style.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 optimized for 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.
