A Comfortable First Dreadnought with Dependable Yamaha Build Quality.
The Yamaha F310I is a full-size dreadnought acoustic created for students, developing players and anyone seeking an affordable everyday instrument. Its spruce top and locally sourced tonewood back and sides deliver a balanced, musical response for chord practice, strumming, vocal accompaniment and introductory fingerstyle.
A 634 mm scale, comfortably slim neck, 43 mm nut and 10 mm string spacing help make the F310I approachable across a wide range of players. Covered chrome tuners, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, gloss body finish and Yamaha’s proven durability make it a practical foundation for regular learning and music making.
Key Features
Dreadnought body for full, versatile acoustic projection
The 505 mm-long, 412 mm-wide body provides the broad acoustic presence associated with a full-size dreadnought. It supports open chords, rhythm work, lessons and singing accompaniment with a confident, well-rounded voice.
Spruce top for clear, balanced tone
The spruce soundboard offers a versatile response for both strumming and lighter picking. Yamaha specifies a spruce top for the F310I; it is not listed as a solid-wood top.
25-inch scale and slim neck for developing technique
The 634 mm scale is slightly shorter than many full-size dreadnoughts, helping reduce the reach between frets. A 43 mm nut, matte neck finish and rosewood fingerboard support comfortable chord transitions and consistent daily practice.
Covered chrome tuners and durable everyday hardware
TM-14P covered chrome tuning machines provide straightforward adjustment, while a rosewood bridge, urea nut and saddle, and black ABS bridge pins complete a reliable student-friendly setup.
Traditional styling in two finish options
Black body binding, black-and-white soundhole detailing and a black pickguard complement the gloss finish. This listing offers Natural and Tobacco Brown Sunburst, subject to current availability.
Purely acoustic steel-string construction
The F310I has no factory pickup, preamp, controls or output connection. It is intended for unplugged steel-string playing; a compatible external pickup can be added separately if amplification is required.
FAQ
Q. Who is the Yamaha F310I best suited to?
It is especially well suited to beginners, students and casual players who want a full-size Yamaha acoustic for regular lessons, chord practice and accompaniment at an accessible price.
Q. Does the F310I have a solid spruce top?
No. Yamaha specifies a spruce top for the F310I, but does not describe it as solid spruce.
Q. How does the F310I differ from the F370?
Both use a dreadnought body, spruce top and 25-inch scale. The F370 upgrades to die-cast tuners, cream-and-black binding and a tortoise-pattern pickguard, while the F310I focuses on straightforward value and beginner-friendly essentials.
Q. Is the F310I steel-string or nylon-string?
It is a six-string steel-string acoustic guitar and should use suitable acoustic steel strings rather than classical-guitar nylon strings.
Q. Does the F310I include electronics?
No. This is a purely acoustic model without a factory pickup, preamp or line output.
Q. Is a gig bag included?
Yamaha lists a hex wrench as the standard accessory and no included case. YMS can help select a suitable dreadnought gig bag or hard case.
Q. Which finishes are available on this listing?
Natural and Tobacco Brown Sunburst are available as product options, subject to stock. Select the preferred colour before ordering.
