Unlike many smaller-body acoustics that lean heavily toward travel-guitar territory, the CSF3M feels like a fully realized instrument with strong projection, balanced response, and surprising fullness for its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity and articulation, while the all-solid mahogany back and sides add warmth, focused mids, and excellent note separation. The result is a controlled and expressive acoustic voice that works especially well for fingerstyle playing, songwriting, vocal accompaniment, and more nuanced playing dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shorter 600 mm scale length creates a relaxed feel under the fingers, making the CSF3M especially comfortable for long playing sessions, travel, or casual everyday use. The compact body shape also responds quickly and evenly, giving the guitar an intimate and highly playable character that encourages creativity and relaxed playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its smaller footprint, the CSF3M maintains impressive projection and resonance thanks to Yamaha’s scalloped bracing design and all-solid construction. It avoids the thin or boxy response often associated with compact acoustics and instead delivers a mature, balanced tonal character with real depth and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor amplified use, Yamaha includes a passive undersaddle pickup system that keeps the controls simple while preserving the guitar’s natural acoustic character. The Vintage Natural finish gives the CSF3M a clean and understated appearance that feels timeless, organic, and musician-focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with Yamaha’s long-standing reputation for consistency and strong fit and finish since 1959, the CSF3M delivers a compact acoustic platform built for genuine everyday musicianship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact parlor-style acoustic-electric body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid Sitka spruce top with scalloped bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid mahogany back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePassive undersaddle pickup system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort 600 mm scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRosewood fingerboard and bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComfortable compact playing feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVintage Natural finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for travel, songwriting, and expressive everyday playing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeluxe hard bag included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact Folk \/ Parlor Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 mm (23 5\/8\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450 mm (17 11\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 940 mm (37\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330 mm (13\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85–105 mm (3 3\/8\"–4 1\/8\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43 mm (1 11\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Sitka Spruce with Scalloped Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nato\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e R400 mm (15 3\/4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urea\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urea\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Die-Cast Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black + Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Hole Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abalone + Black + White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passive Undersaddle Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e LINE OUT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elixir NANOWEB 80\/20 Bronze Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hex Wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deluxe Hard Bag Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Rain City Guitars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Yamaha Canadian Dealer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCurated by musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessionally inspected before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast secure shipping across Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"YAMAHA","offers":[{"title":"Vintage Natural","offer_id":46098673729673,"sku":"CSF3M-VN","price":849.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7299\/3417\/files\/CSF3M-VN-PP-JPG.jpg?v=1779332721","url":"https:\/\/raincityguitars.com\/products\/yamaha-csf3m-vintage-natural-parlor-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"Rain City Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
