Product details
Yamaha CSF1M Compact Folk Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Yamaha CSF1M is a compact folk guitar designed to combine the portability of a travel guitar with the focused sound of a traditional parlor guitar. It features a solid Sitka spruce top that produces a clear, balanced tone with excellent responsiveness. Its compact body and shorter 600 mm scale length provide a comfortable playing experience, making it suitable for home practice, songwriting, recording, and travel.
The guitar features mahogany back and sides, a nato neck, and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Its specially designed scalloped bracing enhances the top's vibration, helping deliver a fuller and richer sound than its compact size might suggest. The Elixir NANOWEB 80/20 Bronze strings provide a bright, articulate acoustic tone, while the comfortable neck supports smooth chord transitions and fingerstyle playing.
For amplified performance, the CSF1M is equipped with a passive SRT piezo undersaddle pickup system. It allows the guitar to connect directly to an amplifier or PA system through its LINE OUT connection without requiring batteries or an onboard preamp. The guitar features a gloss finish, die-cast chrome tuning machines, decorative body binding, and an abalone soundhole inlay. A durable hard bag and hex wrench are included for convenient transport and maintenance.
