Great choice. Yamaha makes awesome music gear (and motorcycles). I've owned a lot of it. Their regular classicals sound great unplugged, but the NTX series is dead unless amplified. I've got several Yamaha and Cordoba instruments in the man cave right now. I've had 16 Cordoba instruments. None of them were the NTX'. Too bad. They sure look great, but tone is everything.

P.S. I've owned three Espana series instruments, and preferred the Chinese Luthier series ones. But to each his/her own. They're all great.
