This guitar is amazing! Its beautiful, crafted well, truly unbelievable at the price. I cannot fathom getting a sweet guitar at this price. The only complaint I have is that the pegs were pushed in deep and i had to reach in to pop them out to change the strings. No big deal. If i had this guitar when i was 17, there's no telling what I could have done. If you are on the fence, go for it. Love the sound, the feel, and play-ability (after I set it up like all guitars need). I am grateful for this guitar. In the 80's a guitar of this quality would have been $600. Thanks Jasmine for a an awesome guitar- made in Indonesia BTW.

First, let me start off by saying I never write product reviews. But in this case I was so surprised by the instrument I was compelled to do so. Let me begin with a short story. I was going to visit my extended family in Maryland (I live in FL.) and my sister-in-law loves to sing. When they came to visit us a few months ago we sat around and played and sang and had a simply fantastic time. She insisted I bring a guitar with me so we could do it again on this visit. Taking a guitar on a plane is a pain and now that you have to pay for every piece of luggage you bring, it would have cost me an extra $30 each way to bring my $100 bang-around guitar with me. So I figured I'd jump on Amazon and buy a cheapie guitar, have it shipped directly to MD. and leave it there, so I'll always have one handy when I visit. When I got here it was waiting for me. (Love that two day shipping with a Prime account.) After reading the 40 or so negative reviews, I had grown a little apprehensive, wondering if I'd made a good choice. Based on the negative reviews complaining about corroded strings, I also had an extra set of strings shipped with it, still less than $100 delivered. So I pulled it out of the box, peeled the sticker off the pickguard and tuned it up. I thought this thing ain't bad. The next day I pulled out the hair dryer and removed the pickguard. I just thought it would be prettier without it, and it was my way of making it My guitar, if you know what I mean. The action was a little high, but I've been playing for over twenty years and setting up my own guitars is just something you learn to do. All it took was a slight adjustment to the tension rod in the neck and the action came down to a very good height for me. I like very low action. Now for the meat of my review; WOW! I can't believe how much I like this thing. Now don't get me wrong, it's not going to replace my '74 Ibanez Concord (SJ-200 copy from the lawsuit era). But let me say it again, WOW. WHEN I BALANCE QUALITY VERSUS PRICE THIS THING IS AN INCREDIBLE VALUE. I really love it. I have had such a great time with it over the last six days I was compelled to write a review to encouraging others to get one. The sound is very good, it's got great playability, stays in tune well enough (being this close to the water) and considering it's only been up to proper tension for less than a week, it truly has been great. I strongly recommend it for anyone who needs an extra guitar, or for someone who is just starting out. I like it so much I'm thinking about bringing it home with me, which defeats the purpose of me buying it in the first place. Now I'm considering getting another one for back home (I'm still on vacation) because I like it so much, but do I really need a seventh guitar at home? I think by now if you've read all this you're getting the sense of what I'm saying. Based on other reviews the factory may have a slight quality control issue, but I have been VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. I may still get another one just because it's so much fun to play. Do I really need two bang-around guitars at home? I still need to figure that one out for myself. But if you are considering this one, I would, without hesitation, recommend you get it. I couldn't be more pleased!

I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and was looking for a decent guitar that wasn't too expensive and would play reasonably well. I have a Washburn Rover travel guitar with me, but you can't play that above the 16th fret. There was a cheap Ibanez here that I restrung and was going to use, but it played terribly. Poor tone, crappy neck, so I stuck with the Rover until I ran across the Jasmine by Takamine S34C. I haven't been playing for 30 years and I'm not a beginner either, having played for approximately 2 1/2 years. Probably the best way to review this guitar is to compare it to some other guitars that I have played. I started with a Lyon by Washburn package ($100.00). The guitar looked good, in fact maybe a little better finished than the Jasmine. However, it the playability was no where near as good. I have a Takamine G-series version of this guitar back home and the Jasmine by Takamine's neck and low action feel exactly the same. In my opinion the neck and fretboard are extremely easy and comfortable to play (you can play to the 20th fret with the cutaway). The matte finish adds to the ability to move quickly up and down the neck. The fretboard has a little curve to it, similar to a Stratocaster, which makes it really easy to make chords, especially barre chords. From that aspect alone, this makes it the perfect beginner guitar, as learning chords, and especially barre chords is extremely frustrating on a chunky neck guitar with high action. The tone is very nice, not quite as good as my non-Jasmine Takamine (or the Lyon by Washburn for that matter), but it is a third of the price too! Chord playing is especially sweet sounding with a decent bass on the low strings. The bridge holds the pins well, the tuners maintain tune well and were nice and tight when I received it. You do need to change strings, mine were a little corroded, but not much worse than they would have been if I had been playing it for a couple of weeks. They were kind of stiff too. I tried some extra light D'Addarios (.10) but with the low action, I got some buzzing on the G and D strings at the first couple of frets that wasn't there with the stock strings, so I put the stock strings back on and ordered some .12's. You could get by with the stock stings for a while though. The neck is dead straight and with the stock strings, there was no buzz and no need to adjust the truss rod (the guitar does have a truss rod and you get an allen wrench with the guitar for adjustment. The pick guard has a Takamine sticker on, which I took off to go to a more classic plain black look. Finish-wise there are a couple of blemishes that look like the stain isn't even, one on the spruce top and a little on the fretboard. But considering how sweet this guitar plays for the price, not a big deal. If you are a beginner, I would look no farther than this guitar to start with. If you get some .12 strings to change out the stock ones, some picks and an electric tuner, you will be set to go pretty far before you would ever consider an upgrade. If you already have experience, this is an OK guitar if you don't feel like kicking out the bucks for a more expensive guitar or are looking for an extra at a second location, and you don't mind some of the individual string tone issues (see below). I was hesitant to buy a guitar that I didn't play first and was worried about how shipping it across the world, subjecting it to the military postal service and finally having is convoyed out to my location in a trailer behind a tactical vehicle would treat it. But, I didn't have much choice. It arrived completely undamaged from Austin Bizarre. You can see that most of the ratings really like this guitar and that helped me make the decision to try one out. You will need to spend at least two-three times the price to do better than the Jasmine by Takamine. My experience was that you literally can pull this guitar out of the box, tune it and play it with no set-up. ADDENDUM: Well, I have been playing this guitar for two months, and MOST of my initial review applies. It plays very easily and it best for chord playing music. The tuners stay in tune, but they are a little gritty when changing strings. The tone for individual strings as in playing melodies or solos has a bit too much booming base on the low E and A strings and is a bit tinny on the high E and B strings. So, if you can live with those short-comings, it's an excellent value. You certainly will be able to figure out whether you are going to stick with guitar on the Jasmine. For experienced guitarists, it depends on what you plan to play on it- you may want to spend the extra $$$ for the better tone on the individual strings.

I’ve been playing for 22 years and I’ve always stuck with acoustic guitars in the $300-$500 guitars because I think it’s a good sweet spot but I needed an inexpensive guitar to keep at my shop. I was super hesitant to get something in this price point because they usually feel super cheap and can sometime sound too metallic, too bright (Fender in particular) or just too hollow. I played a friend’s Jasmine and loved it so I decided to test my luck and order this one. I’m so happy I did because it sounds great! It’s well balanced with the lows and Highs and it’s very comfortable to play since it’s smaller at the neck but full at the bridge giving it the full sustain of a dreadnought but slightly less bulky in the hands. • I do have to say that you will want to immediately adjust the truss rod and change out the strings. After that the action feels great and it sounds superb. It looks really nice without a Pickguard but I ordered a $6 set of pickguards on Amazon because I love the look of the hummingbird pickguard on acoustics and I think it looks great on this Jasmine. • My only real gripe was with shipping. I wish that they double boxed it because when it arrived the top portion of the Box came unattached allowing me to just lift it off without cutting it or pulling the staples out on the corners. It still arrived undamaged but beware if your local USPS isn’t typically kind to your shipments. I would have only put 4 stars because of shipping but I’m reviewing the guitar, not the shipping. I hope this helps anybody out there that already plays and is afraid that this guitar might stink because of the low price.

Updated Review: A couple years ago, I had purchased this guitar and wrote a review about it (see ORIGINAL REVIEW below), and it just happened to be the "best critical review" per Amazon. I recently repurchased this guitar needing something I was not afraid to damage (camping, traveling, etc). I have had it for around two weeks and wanted to followup and more or less revise my earlier review. I will keep this pretty short and direct. Guitar arrived perfectly; strings were good, action was perfect, no dings on guitar. For around $90 bucks with free shipping, this guitar can't be beat. I changed the strings and removed the pickguard and love it. I think for a beginner or intermediate player, especially on a budget, buy this guitar for the build quality and the sound. I have revised my star rating from 3 stars to 5 stars. My experience with this guitar has been nothing short of perfect! If you are on the fence about buying this guitar, just look at all the other reviews!! Original Review: I had this guitar for three days. I opened it, looked it over, had a few dings and scratches, the strings looked good (no corrosion), basically looked like a $90 guitar. But I will say this...It sounds pretty good!! For a guitar in this price range with the stock strings on it, it really shocked me how outstanding it did sound....so now onto the 3 star review Anytime you get a new guitar, it is required by most guitar players to put your strings on it. As I was changing the strings, and I own three guitars so I am experienced in this regard, the nut flew off. I removed two strings and was polishing the fret board when it flew off, across my living room. I had to remove all the strings and was going to attempt to put the nut back on when I noticed the neck had a two inch crack in it now and the headstock was easily bendable Most people would have given 1 star for this guitar if this happened to them. But I realize I bought a $90 guitar, that sounded good, decent quality, and more or less had some bad luck. Not all these guitars are flawed like mine (just check out the reviews) and as I return it to amazon, I seriously contemplate trying another. I give this guitar 3 stars for the quality issue, not the sound. I see alot of 1 star reviews for this guitar based on the strings being "corroded" which is plain silly. Review this guitar on its build, sound, etc, not something you can correct. I do recommend this guitar, but keep in mind, it is a cheap guitar and a decent value! Some wil be great, some will have issues.

I currently own seven guitars, all different, to accommodate/enhance various styles of play. My acoustic workhorse has been an Ovation Celebrity - nothing fancy, not a great tone, but it plays really well and it sounds nice when amplified. I bought this Jasmine for a few reasons - 1) I wanted a beater guitar for camping trips, 2) I wanted a guitar that I could leave in an alternate tuning (probably DADGAD), and 3) because of reason #1, I didn't want to pay much. After finding this guitar (priced at about $85.00) and reading the reviews, my curiosity was piqued so I thought I'd give it a try. I've had it for about a week now and I'm back at square one in a way. This guitar looks too pretty (the satin finish is beautiful), sounds too great (wonderful tone, great sustain, superb intonation), and plays too well (the action was decent right out of the box, no fret buzz anywhere) to use it for its intended purpose! In fact, this 'budget' guitar is the first guitar I've ever owned that I've considered honoring it with a name. I'm selling the Ovation because it just can't compete tonally with this Jasmine. I've already ordered a second. And if the second is consistent with the first, I'll probably order a third (for camping... ?)! In the words of Vizzini, "it's inconceivable" that a guitar this nice would be so cheap! A note to beginners: I highly recommend this guitar to any adult (or almost-adult-sized child) wanting to learn to play - it's inexpensive, it plays well (if properly adjusted), and it has a wonderful tone. Having said that, I would like to add this: The guitar strings will need to be changed occasionally due to use; they will lose tonal quality, they may break. In fact, you may need to change them from the outset (don't be alarmed or disappointed - it happens, particularly with inexpensive guitars. And they're pretty cheap). There is a variety from which to choose but I would recommend starting with a 'Silk and Steel' type - they're typically easier on new (un-calloused) fingertips. Once your fretting fingers are toughened, you'll want to experiment, as your string choice will affect your playing style as well as your tone. The action (the distance from the strings to the fingerboard) may need to be adjusted to make playing easier. As a general rule, if the strings are higher than the thickness of a US quarter (measured at the 12th fret), the action needs to be lowered. If the strings are lower than that, you're probably getting fret buzz (from the string(s) vibrating against a fret when the string is plucked). Most music stores can correct this (for a fee), or an experienced guitar-playing friend may be kind enough to help. You can do it yourself if you're so inclined (instructional videos can be easily found on YouTube) but I would strongly suggest having an experienced person oversee your first few efforts. There are a couple of accessories that will be greatly beneficial and should be acquired immediately if you don't already have them: 1) A guitar case or a guitar stand (you have to do something to keep it safe when you're not playing it). 2) A guitar tuner. 3) Guitar picks (plectrums). You don't necessarily need these; some guitarists prefer to play with their fingers. But most use a pick. There is a wide variety, so experiment. They not only affect your ease of play but, if you pay attention, you'll notice they also affect the tone you're getting. In fact, I use specific picks for different guitars. 4) A neck strap. Another item you don't necessarily need (if you always sit while playing). If you want to stand while playing, it's a virtual necessity. I hope this has helped!

I'm a sax player who has been having an on/off passion for learning jazz guitar. I'm also a business owner and have limited time at home, and spend most of my daily hours at my retail store. I have a nice archtop guitar at home, but wanted an inexpensive acoustic guitar to keep at the store to practice and play during slow times. After MUCH research and almost buying useless cheap junk for a few dollars less, I decided to go for the Jasmine S34C NEX. I bought it from Amazon for $112.91 delivered to my door ($103.97 plus tax, and free shipping). I wasn't at ALL pleased at how it was packed-- Very tightly and with hardly any cushioning-- I was actually surprised that it arrived with no major damage.. It did suffer a ding in the top of the headstock (I can't tell whether that occurred at the factory or during shipment), but I decided to not sweat it, since it's perfect otherwise. It came with brand new shiny bronze wound strings, and although the guitar does have a truss rod (a feature usually found on more expensive guitars, and also comes with a hex wrench to adjust the rod) I find the action and intonation satisfactory, so I haven't messed with adjustments of any kind, at least not yet. Maybe I was lucky, but the guitar is set up such that the action is nice and comfortable (1/8" at the 12th fret at the 6th string-- which to me is perfect for an acoustic guitar) and there is NO buzzing anywhere all the way up and down the fingerboard. Speaking of frets, it has 21, and the neck joins the body at the 14th. It even has a compensated bridge. The guitar has a very pleasing and rustic matte finish, as opposed to gloss, giving it a more "woodsy" and vintage feel rather than shiny and slick. This will also not show fingerprints and smudges, another plus. Since my archtop has a cutaway, I appreciate the cutaway on this. The lower bout is a comfortable 15.5" wide, which actually makes this guitar more comfortable to hold and play than my 17" archtop. There are 2 strap buttons (one on the bottom and one on the neck heel), so you don't have to bother with tying a strap onto the base of the headstock. The tone is superb- As mentioned, I play jazz, and it delivers a nice punchy sound when strumming "Freddie Greene" style 4-to-the-bar jazz rhythm chords. It also has a nice round tone and a pleasing sustain when playing full jazz chords and single-string lines. Others mention something about sharp fret edges: NOT! Mine are nice and smooth, so no issues there. I guess my guitar was built on a Wednesday! (smile).. (and honestly, what if they're a bit sharp? I would think a few minutes with a small hobby file would fix the problem-- sorry, but I think some people are just plain wusses!).. To sum up, this guitar is so nice, I'm a little sad that it's hanging on the wall in my store as a practice instrument-- I'm tempted to take it home and stand it beside my archtop, and find something "not as nice" to kick around with at the store. VERY surprised and pleased at the feel, sound and factory setup of this $100 guitar. I wouldn't call myself a guitar expert, but I've played quite a few and I agree with those that say this plays and feels like a much more expensive instrument. Go buy one before Takamine gets wise to the great reviews and triples the price!

I work in a retail store, and this holiday season I've seen tons of acoustic guitars being sold there and I finally had enough and decided that I wanted one of my own. I just started playing guitar in October (I have an electric), so I didn't have too much knowledge on manufacturers or build quality. What I did know was this guitar was about the same price as the "beginner's guitars" sold in my store. I did some reading up on the internet and found out that Takamine makes very good acoustics in a wide variety of prices. After reading the reviews I took a risk and ordered this one without even getting to try it at a music store. I am totally glad I bought this, and do not regret the purchase. I played a bit of our cheapo guitars, and this one blows em out of the water. *Look and feel: When I opened the box, I couldn't help but smile at the looks. I really like the cutaway shape for the higher frets, just in case I might wanna play some of those; to me it also makes it look cooler. The finish on the guitar is silky smooth, I've mostly only seen glossy finishes so this made it unique to me. The pick guard has a protective sticker on it, so I took it off. As you can see on the item picture, you can take the pick guard off completely as well, but I like the black contrasting with the wood like that, and don't forget you might scratch the wood! I already could've done that while strumming away hard. Also when I took it out of the box I noticed it was surprisingly light also, I didn't see that as a negative. *Playability / sound: Right out of the box it was mostly in tune with the default strings, but a buddy of mine had an extra set and put them on for me. I really like how full and deep the sound is. The way it's shaped (mentioned as dreadnought shaped in the description) helps contribute to that rich sound I suppose. Even my buddy really liked how it sounded (and he was surprised at the price as well). One thing I noticed was that the string action of the guitar is a little higher than my electric, but to me it's not too high to the point of annoying. It gets tougher to push the higher you go on the frets. I just saw it as a personal challenge to increase my finger strength since I'm still learning. So for younger people trying to learn they might not be able to push the strings down with their pinky just yet. Also there's no second little guitar strap button thing at the top; I might go to a music store and get one installed, but I'm currently fine playing sitting down. This guitar is an excellent value for money. Usually for things being so cheap I was initially worried about quality, but don't be! I really enjoy playing this guitar... I've grown more attached to this one and I play this one more than my electric even! If you're starting out, I would personally go down this route instead of getting those beginner value packs you see in stores from unnamed brands. Even if this one might be a little bit more, it's totally worth it in the long run since the build is made to last and the sound is amazing.
