Yamaha CSF1M TBS Acoustic guitar 6 strings Brown

For the Road and the Destination
Featuring solid Sitka spruce tops, mahogany backs and sides, and an innovative scalloped bracing design, compact CSF series guitars deliver a surprisingly full and rich sound for their size—whether at home, on the road, in the studio, or on stage.

Home
Available in two tiers, four finishes, and as a TransAcoustic version with built-in effects, CSF series guitars can be a perfect fit for any playing style, musical aesthetic, or space.

Studio
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.

Stage
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.

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

Combining the portability of a travel guitar with the focused tonal characteristics of a parlor guitar, the CSF1M features a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, newly designed scalloped bracing, and a passive undersaddle piezo pickup.

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.

The secret to great resonance
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.

Solid Top or All-Solid Construction
CSF is available as a solid-top CSF1M and CSF-TA, or all-solid CSF3M. All models feature solid Sitka spruce topboards, and mahogany back & sides.

Durable Gig Bag
CSF series guitars come with a durable deluxe gig bag for easy transport.

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.
