The NTX 500 is an affordable, modern, electro-acoustic concert guitar with a slim body depth from Yamaha's popular NX series. Accordingly, the ergonomic NTX body is ideal for perfect stage performance with plenty of freedom of movement. In addition, a slim neck profile ensures easy playability, while the in-house Yamaha System 73 pickup offers a warm and lively amplified sound for the stage. In addition to a three-band equalizer, a built-in tuner is also available.

The built-in cutaway also allows playing in the higher registers and the chrome-plated tuners keep the tuning clean and provide precise tuning. A spruce top and a body made of Nato ensure a clear sound with sufficient radiance, while a narrow saddle width of 48mm fits well in the hand and also allows for faster runs without problems.
