Yamaha | NX Series | Rodrigo y Gabriela on their Early Days and their Introduction to Yamaha

Rodrigo y Gabriela reflect on the early days of their career: from the meeting of two “metal head” musicians, to developing their now infamous playing style and building a huge fan base in the UK.

The powerhouse acoustic rock duo explain how opening for Muse at London’s Wembley Stadium brought with it the realization that playing nylon string guitars to stadium crowds required better gear, and so a guitar tech on the tour put them in touch with Yamaha.
12 years of partnership, research, and development followed, culminating in the new NX Series Acoustic-Electric Nylon-String Guitar.

About the NX Series:
Yamaha NX Series nylon-string acoustic-electric guitars were designed to satisfy the needs of both nylon-string players in search of superior amplified sound and electric and steel-string players seeking to add new tones and textures to their creative palettes. While all of the guitars in the NX Series sound great when plugged in, NX3 and NX5 models incorporate the proprietary Atmosfeel pickup system, which maintains the instrument’s unparalleled sound quality even at full performance volumes. The NCX model guitars have traditional nylon-string neck profiles, while the NTX models have neck profiles that will feel familiar to non-nylon-string players. Both models feature contemporary body stylings.
