Product Description

The Yamaha csf series takes smaller-size acoustic guitars to a new level. The 600mm scale length, 34mm shorter than a standard full-size acoustic, feels like a regular acoustic, just more comfortable. Mahogany and Sitka spruce construction, with all-solid woods on Csf3, coupled with an all-new bracing pattern lend the csf a rich, full, inspiring tone. The passive zero impact pickup provides gig-ready flexibility with natural, dynamic plugged-in tone. The included hard bag makes transporting csf a breeze. Whether you play at home, on stage or on your travels, csf gives you a new level of acoustic inspiration.

Yamaha CSF1M Modern Parlor Guitar

A Modern Parlor Guitar

The Yamaha CSF1M combines the portability of a travel guitar with the focused tonal characteristics of a parlor guitar—making it ideal for both the road and the destination. Special forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances bass response while increasing the overall resonance of the solid Sitka spruce top, resulting a surprisingly big acoustic and amplified sound.

  • CSF is available as a solid-top CSF1M and CSF-TA (TransAcoustic), or all-solid CSF3M.
  • All models feature solid Sitka spruce mopboards, and mahogany back & sides.
  • Guitars come with a durable deluxe gig bag for easy transport.

CSF1M Acoustic Parlor Guitar

For the Road and the Destination

CSF series guitars can be inspiring alternatives to full-size dreadnought guitars when recording, providing a full, rich, and resonant sound that can stand alone even on recordings where the acoustic guitar is prominently featured.

CSF guitars feature passive undersaddle pickups that utilize the same sensor found in Yamaha L-Series acoustic-electrics—enabling players to easily plug into an amplifier or PA system when performing live.

With their compact size and included deluxe gig bags, CSF series guitars make ideal travel companions.

CSF1M Parlor Guitar compact body, full sound

Compact body, full-size sound

Despite their compact size, which some guitarists find more comfortable to play than larger instruments, CSF series guitars feature an all-new design that increases bass response and overall loudness, resulting in a surprisingly full, rich, and vibrant sound.

CSF series guitars utilize newly-designed scalloped bracing that delivers rich, full-bodied resonance comparable to that of a full-size guitar. Additionally, the use of a forward-shifted construction maintains the strength of the body while maximizing the resonance of the guitar top.

Passive Undersaddle Pickup

Passive Undersaddle Pickup

CSF1M and CSF3M are equipped with undersaddle piezo pickups. With an individual sensor under each string, these pickups deliver superb sound when connecting to an amplifier or PA system. The passive design, inspired by our L-Series acoustics, doesn’t require batteries. It’s a simple and convenient solution for the studio or stage.

Customers like the sound quality of the guitar. They say it sounds great for the size, has a pronounced midrange, and is surprisingly loud for a little guitar. The tone is great and has s good voice. The inlay around the sound hole is impeccable and looks like an antique right out of the box. It's a pure pleasure to hear and projects well.

The perfect versatile addition to any player’s collection
5 Stars
The perfect versatile addition to any player’s collection
Drop the superlatives when describing this guitar. I’ve seen a lot of great “little” guitar, and amazing sound for a “parlor” guitar, but this puppy is just plain great.The Look: this is a stunningly beautiful guitar. Not overly “red” but just a touch, almost a cross over between red and classic sunburst. The pearl inlay is high quality. Pearl on the head logo YAMAHA would have been a nice touch at this price point, though.The Sound: on par with similar body sized guitars but far exceeds travel sized, paneled, or stratocoustic style guitars. I felt it plays much more nicely live or playing into a microphone, the EQ lacking electric hookup left a bit to be desired, maybe because I’m used to my fender’s acoustic/electric fishman EQ. This is easily solved with a pedal. Live, it’s plenty loud for indoor or outdoor play in an intimate setting. It comes with coated strings but you should quickly swap them out for something less Tinny depending on your taste.The Case: high-quality, soft, with rigid backbone, it comes with a backpack style strap but I could only imagine using that on moderately long walks, which I suppose would fit this guitar’s style. There are a handful of pockets including one large enough for sheet music, It’s quality matches the quality of the guitar.The Model types: Note there is more than one model type of his guitar, and this review is specific for the full bodied mahogany, which if this is going to be your every day indoor player is Surely worthy of the upgrade. If you’re going to use this as a beater maybe opt for the more budget friendly versions. Again, it plays like a legit guitar because it is. Don’t get it to replace your dreadnought because it won’t, but it’s it’s own perfect style guitar with which you’ll fall in love.

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2023
I’ve been playing an electric acoustic tagima for almost 6 years now and felt like It was finally time for an upgrade. I’m a fingerstyle player so I thought why not invest in a parlor at last! This little beast has everything I’ve been wanting: compact parlor size, all solid build and as consequence, a HIGH quality sound. I 100% recommended this to intermediate/advanced players who are more likely to enjoy fingerpicking melodies and such. It also comes with a very well built gig bag! I couldn’t be more happy for this to be first yamaha and second acoustic guitar to acquire. :)
