Yamaha NTX3 Crossover 2026

The Yamaha NTX3 is a nylon-string guitar built for players who usually pick up an electric or steel-string guitar. Its body is thinner than that of a traditional classical guitar. That makes it sit comfortably against you, especially when playing standing up. The solid Sitka spruce top and solid walnut back and sides give it a warm voice with plenty of depth. Because all the tonewoods are solid, the guitar resonates freely and will keep opening up as it is played.

The African mahogany neck is slimmer than on most nylon-string guitars. With its 48 mm nut width, it also feels familiar to steel-string players. The ebony fingerboard plays smoothly, while the cutaway gives you easy access to the upper frets. For the stage, Yamaha fitted its Atmosfeel system. It combines a piezo pickup with a transducer and an internal microphone. Together they capture both the strings and the resonance of the body. That keeps the natural character intact, even at higher volumes. It comes with a Yamaha reinforced gig bag.

This 2026 example shows only very minimal signs of play. It is hardly distinguishable from new.
