NX Series guitars represent a new style of nylon strings guitars designed with pickup systems that faithfully reproduce the tone, character, and dynamics of the instrument. To meet the needs and playing styles of different players, the series offers two body types; the classical style NCX line instruments and the thin-bodies NTX line.

The mine models that make up the series differ in material type, but all feature Yamaha’s exclusive A.R.T pickup and preamp system, which is designed to deliver natural nylon string tone and at a level of realism that has never been achieved before.

One of Canada’s most successful rock groups ever, Glass Tiger recently returned home from one tour they will never forget. The Toronto-based band was invited to visit Afghanistan by the Canadian military as part of a ‘Team Canada’ program that sees Canadian entertainers and former NHL hockey players provide a positive morale boost to the soldiers serving there. “Our mission was to lift the soldiers’ spirits for even a few brief moments, to show them Canada still cares, and to learn firsthand about what they are trying to accomplish in Afghanistan,” says Glass Tiger keyboardist Sam Reid.

"It was a perfect solution for me while on our recent tour in Afghanistan. Thanks Yamaha for hooking me up - the men and women of our armed forces were totally amazed that we were able to do an impromptu performance in a tent!"
