Artist NTL1 Amber Burst Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar

This one's for all the modern prog fans out there! The Artist NTL1 is a thin-body nylon classical guitar that combines the ergonomics of an electric guitar with the inimitable tone of nylon strings! With a slim C-shaped neck, Purple Heart fretboard with walnut binding, and a piezo pickup controlled by a single volume and tone, the NTL1 is a simple, lightweight, high-quality instrument that will suit classical guitarists and prog fans alike! As usual, we've decked this one out with quality appointments - high-grade tuners, a bone nut and saddle, Purple Heart bridge, and an ultra-slim 44.5mm body with a belly contour are just some of the incredible aspects of the NTL-1!

Artist Tele Purchase Number Five

I ordered this classical solid body after watching Peter Northcote's Online video Review which is Very Accurate! This guitar is aimed at electric guitarists who are wanting a classical sounding guitar they can plug into their guitar amplification rig.Comparing it to my Epiphone Coupe model, which retailed for over $1,000,you don't get the finger squeaks of the Epi,the EQ on the NTL-1 is more accurate and simple to use, the guitar is surprisingly heavy(in Les Paul territory) but a very tasty looking instrument with classy looking Tuners with textured grip black knobs and matching black string posts.My only beef is that the top nut & bridge saddle are Not Bone as per spec sheet.Very surprisinglyly low action, very comfortable c shape neck,12" radius, and great for lead sounding, single note, jazzy single strum chords.Amazing Bang for your Buck.Love It.AAA+++

They just keep coming

This is my 3rd guitar purchase from Artist guitars, such a fun instrument to play. I usually gig with a steel string acoustic, but took this guy to my last gig to get a feel. Did not dissapoint. Played it straight out of the box and sounded great. Will do a proper setup over the weekend, which will make this thing even better. My gigs are usually 3-4 hours, i can easily have this thing strapped over my shoulder for that amount of time. just the right weight, nicely balanced.

Excellence in Nylon

This is a really nice guitar, well finished and playable straight out of the box, and its sounds really good to, especially for finger style picking

Great value

I am SO impressed with the quality of this guitar for the cost. It plays just beautifully, straight out of the box. My only surprise was that it makes a lot less acoustic noise than I was expecting - it's definetly designed to be plugged in. Nice for plinking at night when everyone has gone to bed

We are glad to hear that you are happy with the item. Thank you so much for your review.

Artist NTL1 Amber Burst Nylon Acoustic-Electric Gu

Fantastic and well priced piezo solid body nylon string guitar. Sent the day after it came back into stock. Think it must have a hollow chamber somewhere in the body as it is relatively easy to hear without amplification. While the tone is excellent as is, it comes alive when used with an acoustic preamp. I use a software one with a patch to replicate a Taylor 812 along with a Taylor 812 IR. Have lots of other patches and IRs of famous acoustic guitars to try out but at the moment this guitar has motivated me to practice every day again. Thanks again Artist Guitar for prompt delivery, excellent customer service and another great product. .

Artist have done it again!!

What a great little guitar, how do they even break even with this? The body is comfortable, the neck is nice, not as wide as a regular classical styled guitar, not as flat as it does have a large radius, so subtle. The fit and finish is incredible for the price, the piezo is pretty good too considering. The intonation is good, very lightly sharp on the A string, but not worth fretting about. The binding adds a bit more of a luxe aesthetic, as does the subtle neck binding with a lighter wood. Although the description of the guitar on Artist's site doesn't specify, this guitar has a truss rod, which really isn't needed on a nylon string guitar, but I won't complain about having one. When you look at the competition, there's not really anything like this, especially for the price. Cort / Ibanez/Harley Benton do similarly constructed guitars, the cheapest starts at around $1000. Caveat, I'm no professional, I just make music at home for me. If I were a guitarist wanting something something similar in your toolbox, I wouldn't hesitate, this is the bargain you've been looking for. Thank you Artist, keep up the amazing work.
