A nylon classical guitar with a sober look, tailored for today's needs
The NCX3C Natural embodies the spirit of modern nylon guitars: preserving the DNA of traditional luthiery while incorporating features suited for amplified playing. Its "Natural" aesthetic highlights the selected tonewoods, while the cedar/walnut combination offers an expressive sound identity, both at home and on stage.
For which guitarist and styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a versatile, comfortable, and reliable nylon instrument for amplified playing situations. It is particularly suited for styles where right-hand dynamics and harmonic colors are essential: modern classical, bossa, Latin, acoustic pop, fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment, and soft jazz arrangements. Thanks to the Atmosfeel system, it integrates easily into a live set without losing the character of nylon.
Sound
The solid cedar top delivers a round attack and a rich tonal palette, with a sense of depth from the very first notes: ideal for nuances, arpeggios, and legato playing. The solid walnut back and sides enhance clarity while maintaining structured bass and present mids, helping the guitar to "cut through" in a mix. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard contribute to precise response, a firm touch, and clear articulation. For the stage, the Atmosfeel system is designed to respect the dynamics of playing and the acoustic personality of the instrument, providing a natural and usable amplified sound.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of the NCX3C, prioritize nylon strings for classical guitar compatible with a 650 mm scale length (standard format). A tuner and a guitar stand are useful additions for daily use. A semi-hard case is included for transport.
