Thanks so much for a brilliant review, could you please advise me as I've played accoustic and electric all my life, i bought a classical recently but couldn't cope with the wide neck, do you think this Guitar would suit me for learning classical, and what would be your recommendation the ntx 1 or ntx3 Many Thanks for your help Ian
Hi Ian - Thanks for getting in touch and watching the video. The NTX1 maybe ideal for you - I think it's designed for the electric/acoustic player wanting to play classical or get the nylon sound. Some harder technique maybe a little tricky with the narrower string spacing but if the wider full size classical felt too much - this hybrid guitar should be great for you. As for the NTX1 or 3 - this depends on whether you are going to plug the guitar into an amp... The NTX3 will be SO much better for playing live/amped up, with it's excellent pickup system (sensor/piezo and mic). The woods are different too with the NTX3 - thinks it's walnut. I did find the NTX1 quite a quiet guitar acousticly, maybe the NTX3 would be more resonant? If you could try them out, thats always best. Also check out Cordoba guitars - Fusion range - same idea... Classical guitar with narrower fret board. Good luck and enjoy!
The stock strings were amazingly poor! I think the intonation wasn’t great. I changed them and the sound quality did improve and everything else was better too - feel and intonation. Good luck 😉
Hello! I got the guitar second hand but the action was way too high. Adjusting the truss rod sorted it out easily. I was able to get a lower action then a standard classical guitar but I little higher then a steel string acoustic. Nice guitar - as long as you like the narrower string spacing 👍🏻

I Love your pickup and your strumming +finger picking sounds better
Cheers Andrew...great work....Australian viewer.
Mine arrived today. I found the intonation quite bad, was yours like that? Perhaps it has to do with the factory strings?

How did you find the string action out of the box?

Hi, very nice guitar! Like 6.
Can you please do Here is a house by Depeche Mode, thank you. Love your playing.
Does the body pick up finger tapping sounds?
Sadly not - it’s only got the under saddle pick-up so doesn’t pickup tapping/ body sounds.
@@andrewcleggguitar Thank you.
@@rudyramirez9904 the next model up - the ntx3 or ncx3 - has a microphone built in. I haven’t tried it but sure it makes a big difference 👍🏻
@@andrewcleggguitar Thank you! I just ordered it from Gutiar Center.
