The cutaway body design offers extended playability making the NCX1200R perfect for a wide range of
styles.
The Yamaha NCX1200R guitar inherits many of the characteristics of classical guitars, such as fingerboard
width, neck shape, body thickness, and 12th fret joint. Its cutaway bodies and lower string height offer more flexible playability.
The NCX line is designed to provide not only classical guitarists with an instrument that is a pleasure to play, but other
guitarists playing a wide range of musical styles from flamenco to Latin to popular, and much more.
The Yamaha NCX1200R
offers all the sophistication of a classical guitar along with outstanding, playability, and rich, high-quality tone in a
truly professional acoustic guitar. It starts with a solid Sitka spruce top, for warm, balanced tone. The neck is African
mahogany, while the back and sides are rosewood. Rosewood is a tropical hardwood that has long been the material of choice
for acoustic guitar sides and backs. Harder and heavier than maple, it provides firm support for the guitar's resonating top
and delivers rich, well-balanced overtones. Its warm quality is perfect for nylon string tone.
Classical, flamenco,
Latin, or pop, whatever your style, these guitars play and sound great thanks to a traditional design ready to accommodate
a wide range of playing styles. The neck shape is identical to that on a classical guitar. The NCX1200R's bracing design focuses
on delivering the best of nylon-string tone, with warmth and excellent response. It produces a well-balanced tone over the
instrument's entire range and enables this acoustic-electric guitars to accommodate a wide range of playing and musical styles
The
NCX1200R classical guitar also features the A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement), an original wood reforming technology
developed by Yamaha. Through precise control of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, the molecular properties
of the wood can be manipulated into a more acoustically ideal condition, similar to the molecular characteristics of woods
in instruments that have been played for years. In NX Series guitars, this treatment results in a sound close to that of a
vintage guitar that has been played for years. It produces a sharper tone while simultaneously controlling dissonance in the
high range. Instruments that have undergone this process have received high marks from a great number of musicians. Their
evaluations are nearly identical to those for guitars that have been played for years, and their comments often include terms
such as "well settled," "mature," "warm," "excellent resonance," and "clear."
Yamaha's ART (Acoustic Resonance Transducer)
pickup system is purpose designed to offer the most natural, dynamic and expressive electro-acoustic sound on the market.
Proprietary multi-layer contact sensors perfectly combine ultra-wide dynamic range with outstanding feedback rejection for
the most accurate and natural performance sound. The Yamaha guitar uses a 2-way system with contact pickups mounted on the
treble and bass sides of the guitar bridge. To reduce unwanted feedback caused by vibration the NX Series contact pickup uses
an additional multilayer damper to ensure the tone is captured in its purest form. Complementing the warm, full mid-range
of the nylon-string tone, the System 61 preamp allows individual volume control over the treble and bass side pickups, allowing
you to get the perfect blend for your style. The System 61 preamp also features a 3-band EQ for sound shaping and an on-board
tuner.
