This guitar has a solid top and all solid Indian rosewood back and sides, with a strong rich classical tone suitable for the stage. The N600 is ideal for advanced classical guitar students at secondary or tertiary level.

This guitar has a solid top and all solid Indian rosewood back and sides, with a strong rich classical tone suitable for the stage.

The top of the guitar is the vital component for generating sound, vibrating as each string is plucked.

With solid top guitars, the more this soundboard vibrates, the more this single piece of wood adapts and ‘opens up’ which improves the quality of sound as the guitar ages..

Dan Nistico thought the NS-600 is “very nice and open, great sound” very revealing especially with tremolo technique.

About the Maker

Born in 1963 in the province of Cadiz, the Spanish luthier Rafael Romero Barroso began playing guitar at age twelve as a disciple of Rafael Escudier. By the time he was sixteen, he was performing alongside such renowned artists as "Chano Lotabo", "Rancapino", "Curro Malena" and "El Chato de la Isla."

During this period, he met Mario Melero Deudero (b. 1927), a Spanish guitar maker also from Cadiz, and discovering his true vocation apprenticed with him. When Mario retired, in fact, he passed his tools on to Rafael, who like his teacher, continues to build handmade classical and flamenco guitars using traditional tools and techniques.

Later, traveling to Madrid, he met the guitar maker Jose Romero, who encouraged and supported his efforts.

Among the luthiers from whose friendship and advice he has profited, he also mentions Vicente Carrillo Casas.

Among his clientele are such artists as Manuel Parrilla, Juan Parrilla, Moraito Chico, "El Carbonero" and Alberto San Miguel, professor of guitar at the Conservatory of Music in Granada.

He brings to his flamenco and classical guitars both the knowledge of his craft and the sensibilities of a professional guitarist

About Angel Benito Aguado

Angel is unique among guitar makers in that he cannot be claimed by any of the guitar schools, being largely self taught. He collaborated early in his career with Jose Miguel Moreno and his wife. Out of this early collaboration date many of the early music guitars, but the early music clarity and sensitivity carries over into the building of his contemporary guitars such as the Marizapalos, Marieta and Espanoleta.

They are all incredibly easy to play on the left hand and incredibly musical.

This would explain why so many Madrid conservatorium students use a Angel Benito Aguado to undertake the arduous and long guitar qualification and also why on a Friday evening his workshop is abuzz with both established concert performers and up an coming players.

Ferociously intelligent and detail oriented, Angel’s guitars are a pleasure to play and sound excellent even in the shorter scales lengths of 630, 640 right down to 620.

I was impressed the first time I arrived at Angel’s workshop to find how well-tuned and balanced Angel’s creations are. The notes cascade and “play nicely” with each other with a tinkling musicality that is refreshing; add to this the ease of playing and this becomes an enchanting guitar that you can just let your fingers drift up and down the fretboard, even on the difficult pieces you’re still trying to bed down.

OUR THOUGHTS

We re-recorded this Esteve (Juan Hernández) model 8 guitar with Dan Nistico following my 2017 buying trip to Spain, and this guitar was a revelation and impressed us greatly.

Both Dan and I felt it proved to be very balanced and even across the strings.

At this price it really outshone other guitars delivering a nuanced performance and unusual depth.

Nice woods, elegant solid cedar top. Beautifully finished Cutaway, built in Fishman Classic M system especially dedicated for nylon string guitars, includes a tuner. Rich, warm loud sound on its own!

It’s obviously a handmade product. The 3C CW is built with the steel-string guitar player partially in mind as it has a slightly narrower neck width than is standard for classical models.

When played through a good quality “acoustic” amplifier the 3C CW E1, with its Fishman pre-amp, produces a sound that it is hard to believe comes from a budget-priced electro-acoustic classical guitar.

Price shown is for E1 option.

Condition Report

One very careful owner who has recently transitioned to a full classical guitar. This Yamaha NCX is in a new condition

Style

With their sleek single-cutaway body shapes, appealing wood choices, colorful rosette patterns, and tasteful appointments, NX Series guitars are designed for contemporary players seeking the perfect combination of comfort and style.

Bracing

As a result of precise measurement and experimentation, several refinements were made that enhance low-frequency response without compromising durability. These changes were further refined to emphasize the natural characteristics of specific tonewoods, and optimized for each body silhouette

 Atmosfeel Controls

The simple and intuitive Atmosfeel preamp controls let you blend the microphone sound into the premixed pickup sound.

These simplified controls mean that guitarists are able to dial in the desired settings quickly and without the need to actually look at the controls

Atmosfeel Pickup and Preamp System

The Yamaha Atmosfeel pickup system provides unparalleled amplified sound even at performance-level volumes. An undersaddle piezo pickup with individual string sensors captures only the mid and low-mid frequencies (eliminating the characteristic brittleness of piezo pickups), while a unique synthetic sheet transducer captures the highs, and an internal microphone captures overall body resonance and “airiness.”

Daniel Nistico’s review said a beautiful plug in guitars it sounds good acoustically also. Quite surprised how good it sounds it’s very resonant, good for gigs, weddings etc. Very resonant classical electric. Plays in drop D scales and strums and single note runs. That’s nice, very nice intonation, very playable Plays the Bach Chacone “That nice, very nice intonation very playable” plays  Andecy by Andew York showing clarity and resonance and tonal richness.
