Anyone play the ntx1200r, which I believe is the Rodrigo yamaha?

I thought those two played hand made irish guitars.

if i am not mistaken the guitar R and G play are not off the shelf, but
built for them by Yamaha.

they have an unique yamaha design; rodrigo worked with them for the pick up system. ( they are from mexico, i read a local interview)

Rodrigo y Gabriella at one point played Frank Tate guitars from Ireland. They now play their yamaha series. Personally I think it depends on what you want from a guitar. I tend to like a deeper, dryer sound than their yamaha's get. However, i am more classically based than they are. I have a friend that has the NCX 1200 and he really loves it. He's much more flamenco. I will say that I believe their are more organic sounding guitars for the money of the 1200 series. But that's just my opinion. The yamahas are well built though and are tough guitars. They hold up where construction is concerned.

Im pretty sure they played Cervantes crossovers before the Yamaha
endorsment started...check the earlier videos on youtube,, i think they

were Cervantes.
