"the [NCX1200R] arrived safely and oh I am ever so happy with it. What a great job Yamaha has done with these ncx1200r. A truly roadworthy "classical": comfortable, responsive and with excellent pickup system and onboard electronics. As for the tone: your setup was just what the doctor ordered: action is just right for me and I will definitely stick to these strings in future. Last but not least: your customer service is super. All in all, thank you very much." Roberto Cassani , 10/11/2010

"The Yamaha [NCX1200R] is great and sounds good both on its own and through my Bose amp" Bob Jones 14/09/2009

Classical cutaway electro-acoustic with 12th fret neck join.

"The tone I’m getting now is really what I was looking for, probably due to the bone saddle change you did .... The amplified sound itself is very much what I wanted; no attack harshness or drops/pops in volume across the whole neck, just a nice balanced overall tone that when amplified sounds exactly like the acoustic tone ... with this guitar the taps/percussion on the soundboard really get amplified perfectly, not changed or distorted, it just amplifies the acoustic sound perfectly!" Lars van Casteren, December 2009

The Yamaha NCX1200R is an all-solid-wood guitar, fitted with the excellent ART contact pickup system.

Special Set Up

We have successfully set up Yamaha NX series guitars to give a brighter tone and lower action than they come with as standard.

This involves restringing - strings of your choice, making and fitting a new lower, compensated bone saddle, and setting the neck relief.

You pay only for the strings and the blank bone. Please phone when ordering.

"thanks for your time and advice on saturday, the guitar [Yamaha NCX900FM] sounds fantastic ... it sings! plugged in it has the best natural sound i've ever heard. My long and frustrating search for a top quality high volume nylon string sound is finally over! the tap-plate went on great as well, thanks again for your friendly service. all the best," Stephen Woodman, November 2009

Guitarist magazine remarked that:

"What elevates the NXs from the rest of the pack is this purpose-designed pickup/preamp system, which from the NTX700 up to the 'dream-on' NCX2000 sounds fantastic, translating the dynamics, nuances and quality of each different-sounding model in a very natural fashion."

"We've not heard a plugged-in electro nylon that, for the price, sounds better across such a broad stylistic range."

Concluded the review in Guitarist magazine, June 2009.
