EKO NXT N100CWE Natural Nylon Electro-Acoustic Guitar

The EKO NXT N100CWE is a nylon-string electro-acoustic guitar for players who want the feel of a classical guitar, but with a more modern, stage-friendly design.

It has a slim cutaway body, a natural gloss finish, a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and built-in Eko G-03 electronics. That makes it a really practical choice if you want something comfortable to play at home, easy to plug into an amp or PA, and a little more stylish than a standard entry-level classical guitar.

It is not trying to be a traditional full-depth classical guitar. The NXT N100CWE is more of a crossover nylon-string instrument — part classical, part acoustic, part live-performance guitar. That is exactly why it makes sense for a lot of players.

What Does It Actually Sound Like?

Unplugged, the spruce top gives it a clear, bright response, while the mahogany back and sides help keep the sound warm and balanced. Because this is a slim-body guitar, it will not have the same big acoustic volume as a full-depth classical guitar, but it is comfortable, controlled and easy to live with.

Plugged in, the Eko G-03 preamp gives you much more flexibility. You get volume control, 3-band EQ, phase control and a built-in tuner, so you can shape the sound properly when running into an acoustic amp, PA system or recording setup.

That makes it a useful guitar for live performance, open mic nights, lessons, worship, home recording or players who simply prefer the softer feel of nylon strings but still need to plug in.

How Does It Feel to Play?

The 52mm nut width and flat fingerboard give it a familiar classical-style feel, so there is plenty of room for fingerstyle playing. The cutaway body also gives better access higher up the neck than a standard classical guitar, which is useful if you are playing lead lines, chord melody parts or more modern arrangements.

The body is slimmer than a traditional classical guitar, so it sits closer to you and feels less bulky. That is a big plus if you find full-size classical guitars a bit awkward, or if you want something that feels comfortable standing up with a strap.

Who Is It For?

This is a good choice for beginners, students, fingerstyle players and acoustic guitarists who want to move into nylon strings without going fully traditional.

It is also a smart option for performers who need nylon-string tone on stage without relying on a microphone. If you play in cafés, churches, schools, small venues or acoustic sessions, the built-in preamp makes life much easier.

If you want a big, traditional classical guitar for purely acoustic playing, a full-depth classical model may suit you better. But if you want a comfortable nylon-string guitar that looks modern, plays easily and plugs in when needed, the EKO NXT N100CWE is a very sensible choice.

Not Sure If This Is the Right Guitar?

If you want a traditional classical guitar for exams or purely acoustic playing, you may prefer a standard full-depth classical model.

If you want nylon strings, a comfortable slim body, cutaway access and the ability to plug in, this is the better fit. It is especially useful for players who want a classical-style feel but need something more practical for modern playing, live use or home recording.

If you are unsure whether to choose a classical, acoustic or nylon electro-acoustic guitar, get in touch and we will help you work out which one suits you best.
