Solid concert body with Sitka spruce top, mahogany body, passive SRT pickup and gigbag
The Yamaha CSF 3M is designed for guitarists who appreciate a small and handy concert body. Because this small solid body projects strong and striking mids that are so popular in blues or fingerstyle. In addition, a shortened scale length of 600mm provides extremely soft playability, while the flat neck profile lies comfortably in the hand. But also the passive SRT pickup sounds surprisingly dynamic and naturally balanced. In addition, chrome-plated die-cast mechanisms provide tuning stability and precise tuning, while a compensated urea bridge insert ensures clean intonation and a flat string position. Last but not least, a gigbag is already included in the scope of delivery.

Great tome and sound projection and comfortable to play. Will need some setup as the action is high on the low E at the 12th but a setup would be expected on most new guitars. So almost perfect except for action and the tuners which appear to be a very low ratio as even the smallest turn changes the string pitch significantly.
Really nicely made guitar with a good bass range. I had to return mine unfortunately as it has a very narrow nut, far smaller than any guitar I've played before and my hands are 40 years worth of building and manual work, so rather large.
The guitar however would suit most people and does have a great sound and build quality. My problem for having fat fingers!
DV247 were really good though, very quick delivery and returns process. Can't fault them.
