A modern classical designed to expand your playing field
The NCX1C Natural incorporates the fundamentals of the classical guitar (standard scale length and nut width adapted for fingerstyle playing), while adding stage-oriented and comfort features. The cutaway facilitates solos and voicings high up on the neck, while the onboard electronics allow amplification without sacrificing the "classical" spirit.
For which guitarists and styles?
This guitar is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a versatile classical, as well as accompanying musicians seeking a practical electro-classical for rehearsals and stage. It is particularly suitable for fingerstyle, acoustic pop, bossa, Latin music, and modern arrangements, with the possibility to explore melodic parts thanks to the cutaway.
Sound
The solid cedar top provides a quick response and natural warmth, very pleasant for arpeggios and fingerstyle playing, with dynamics that are easy to control. The back and sides in nato or okoumé contribute to overall balance and even projection, while maintaining good note definition. When amplified, the piezo under the saddle emphasizes precision and attack, useful for standing out in a mix, especially in rhythm and picking.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of this electro-classical, prioritize nylon strings for classical guitar (gauge according to your comfort), as well as a tuner (pedal or clip-on) and a stable guitar stand for home or stage use.
