pitchy's Live Rig
My live acoustic setup for wedding ceremonies & drinks receptions.
I primarily use the Yamaha classical for most events, although the Takamine is great for certain songs.

Classical & Nylon-String Guitars
A great workhorse for contemporary/classical crossover guitarists
I have owned my NCX2000 for 8 years, and is regularly used as part of my work. It’s a comfortable guitar to play, and suits performances such as wedding ceremonies (for more classical repertoire) and concerts/pit music (pop/contemporary).
The guitar records well miked up/blended with DI. For live work, the preamp is superb for plugging straight into acoustic amps/PA and produces a tight, yet balanced tone. This is something I find very rewarding with the guitar, considering a lot of other electro classicals I tried, were too boomy to craft a suitable low end response. This may be partly thanks to the split pickup, that allows you to mix the dual pickups in a way that helps bring out melodies when playing finger style, or add more oomph when trying to fill a mix with more chord playing. The only things I have noticed that is the screws on the tuning peg heads occasionally comes loose (so I leave a mini Philips in the case). The other thing is the onboard tuner could do with showing better detail in the regards to how in tune strings are, alongside the fact it doesn’t mute the signal.
Overall, a great for those after a strong nylon string for multiple tasks and applications.
