Frequently Asked Questions
The undersaddle pickup will be a bit thinner sounding than a soundboard pickup, but it’s perfectly adequate for basic amplification and avoids body modifications.
The neck is relatively slim and comfortable, but the classical guitar scale length and wider nut width will take some getting used to if you're primarily a steel-string player.
The NCX1C NAT has a well-executed build, but the materials are more budget-friendly, so don't expect the same level of refinement or long-term durability as a premium instrument.
