These sculpted wood pieces comprise the guitar's bracing. The primary function of the bracing is to support and maintain the structural stability of the guitar's top. Bracing can also dramatically affect the way the guitar sounds, depending on how it's constructed and its arrangement (called the bracing pattern).There are many different types of bracing patterns. The most common and enduring pattern used on steel-string acoustic guitars is called "X" bracing; so named for the two braces that form an "X" by crossing each other in the middle of the pattern.Jasmine Advanced "X" Bracing SystemNot all "X" bracing patterns are created equal, however. Jasmine's "Advanced X Bracing" system features a "forward-shifted" "X" bracing pattern that places the braces closer to the soundhole, producing a livelier, more open sound with improved definition and note detail.The quartersawn braces provide exceptional stability, with a scalloped design that reduces weight and lets the top vibrate more freely, resulting in better sound. A solid rosewood bridge plate rounds out this remarkable package by providing superior balance and note separation. The NEX guitar body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart. It has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully. Jasmine guitars are designed by the same craftsmen who make the world's hottest- selling all wood acoustic guitar…takamine. this full-line consists of mini jumbos, dreadnoughts, 12-strings, cutaways and acoustic/electrics all with popular body styles and features for today's player. each model features all- wood construction, popular finishes, ping machines, durability, and quality, "takamine level" construction and d'addario exp strings for rich tone and long life and the woods notice the japanese laminated spruce tops (solid spruce tops on some models), the fully bound rosewood fingerboards. select jasmine models include a kmc music designed cp-100 in-bridge pickup and pre-amp system. an exlusive series of guitars at remarkably affordable prices.

  • Amazing Guitar for All levels of players, Run don't Walk, Just Buy it!
Style: Acoustic Guitar
I have been researching guitars and discovered Takamine and how they get such great reviews for their NEX body style and big sound. Takamine's are quite expensive and since the body style seems different than most, didn't want to spend that much. Takamine is the maker of this Jasmine guitar and it is the same design as their expensive guitars that can cost well over $1000. I discovered this guitar online and bought this guitar because of all the good reviews that I see on Amazon and other guitar sites. Wanted an acoustic with a cut out but didn't want to break the bank. It seemed by the reviews that maybe it was too good to be true. The photos attached show two Jasmine Guitars, on the Left, this guitar, the S34C NEX (matte) and on the right the Jasmine JO36-Nat (gloss) - The JO36 is a slightly smaller body style and is very comfortable, more so that the NEX body. The sound is great and the neck is nearly the same. Would highly recommend for smaller guitar players and works great for my big hands too! You can also see the differences in the head stock design and the tuners are quite different. The NEX tuners seem better. All in all both are great quality and an awesome value. (I did not get paid for this review or any discounts, bought these with my hard earned cash and am writing a review, because these really are great guitars!) This review is for the Jasmine S34C NEX Packaging: When I opened the package, I was disappointed in Amazon's packaging as the head stock was slightly damaged. Overlooking this fact, I tuned it up and played it for a while. Strings: The strings are not the greatest, but the guitar itself is spectacular! Yes, it is a laminated spruce top, but the sound is rich, warm lows and mids and bright highs. It almost has the sound of a solid cedar top guitar (but it is not). The back and side are sapele which some call mahogany, but it is absolutely beautiful! I also own a Taylor GS Mini Mahogany and it also is sapele, and has a rich warm boom with bright notes. First thing that I did to this Jasmine guitar was replace the strings with Martin MFX130 Flexible Core Silk & Phosphor strings and what I thought was a decent guitar, suddenly become a dream! With these strings the guitar really comes to life. Although at first they are a bit bright for my tastes, after a couple of weeks they really tame down and become warm and rich. Quality of workmanship: I was expecting workmanship of an $80 guitar, what I got quality of a guitar worth hundreds more. The finish of this guitar is a beautiful satin finish, I was expecting gloss as the description showed, but was pleasantly surprised to have matte, which I prefer. The body is clean and smooth and has a nice feel, the neck is also matte and just feels great in your hands. The top is a spruce laminate and is darker than one might expect, not yellowish like most spruce tops, but a deeper tanish color, similar to some cedar top guitars that I have seen from Breedlove. I really like the color of the top and the back, which is sapele has a nice natural color and perfectly matches the sides. The black trim really gives the guitar a rich look and it is smooth and perfectly finished. The neck is not quite the same color as the back, but acceptable. The headstock is a nicer design that the one in the photo of the description, not sure if there are different model years from one to the other, I bought mine Jan 2017. The chrome tuners are smooth and keep it in tune very well, not complaints here at all. The Jasmine lettering on the headstock is a subtle gold, not inlaid but printed. This is not a small guitar. While it is smaller than a Jumbo, not by much. It is near the size of a Dreadnought, a smaller waist helps it to be more comfortable and the sound is comparable to a dreadnought. Playability: The neck of this guitar with the matte finish and 12" radius is a big bonus, it has the feel of an electric guitar. I have big hands and the 1.75" nut is great for fingerstyle as well. The intonation at the 12th fret is near perfect, with no setup out of the box. The finish on the fret ends could be smoother, but it is not bad. The action is spot on and no adjustment was needed for my style. It can be strummed hard and that huge NEX body packs a punch. It does not sound like a $1000 Taylor, but really with the right setup and strings, it is not $900+ different! Final Thoughts: After buying this guitar, I almost would like to have a second one to keep for when I wear this one out, its that good, especially the cost makes it even more attractive since the quality and playability is so great. I would recommend this to most beginners, smaller adults and kids might be challenged by the size, but I see lots of little kids playing dreadnoughts, so this would be better. If your an intermediate or long time guitar player, I don't think you would be disappointed, not expect a $1500 guitar, but I have had some expensive guitars, where this one shines over those. So, no matter what level of guitar player you are, Run don't Walk to the Buy Now, JUST BUY IT! ... show more

  • Wow, where do I begin?
Style: Acoustic Guitar
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! ... show more
