Jasmine S35 Acoustic Guitar, Natural

It’s good guitar I like it so far

This is the best affordable guitar ive ever played. Also remember this guitar. used to be made by a company called takamine very great highend company and they still make this product the same even after the split so your getting a amazing quality for lower then half the price.

For those looking for the quick answer: buy this guitar, seriously, it is THAT good. For the money I have spent $500 and had a guitar less playable and I have spent $1200 on a Taylor that didn't sound this good. A quick look back: In the past you needed to buy a decent guitar if you wanted to learn. If you had hand strength you could make a not so good guitar work, but up until 10 years ago you would have spent 5 times this for a guitar this good. PROS: Sounds amazing **seriously, I don't work for them or give a damn whose guitar you buy, but it is that good. Plays good, not amazing but very good, and for just chords it plays fine. The frets are very straight. CONS: Ok so mine had a fret buzz on the 1st fret, not something you see often, long story short I had to spend 15 bucks and get a new bone nut because this one was too low, but the truss rod adjusted the action perfectly so I know once I get a bit of raise at the nut there will be no buzz at all (right now VERY slight buzz on D string if left open, past 1st fret its fine) Why you reading? You want a great sounding acoustic for less money than a crappy video game? Buy this thing!! Or don't I don't care.

The nut width on this guitar is 1.75", which is not as common as the 1 11/16th that all other guitar manufacturers seem to produce. The Jasmine acoustic guitar (whether dreadnaught or cut away, sans pickup) is still the best value for the money for an entry level guitar. I purchased the sunburst model to gift to someone, and it performed, like others, so excellent for the money that I wanted one of my own. Whether it's the bracing or the nut width (I lean towards the playability of the 1.75" nut width), the Jasmine acoustic guitar is by far still one of the best starter guitars/beater guitars around. As they age they sound better, and if you should choose to upgrade the tuners, even more so. I donate to charitable causes when I can, and this guitar is a go-to for quality as a kick a$$ donation item. It is NOT in the realm of Esteban or others; it by far exceeds them, and they seem to hold up over time. When you combine the 1.75" nut width with quality bracing, you end up with a great sounding guitar. If one learns on this model and wants more capability, then of course move to a Martin (Mexico or USA made), or Taylor (Mexico or USA made), or Breedlove (unsure of origin, so play before purchase; USA models are AWESOME), or other where budget permits. But for the money, you can't beat the sweetness of the tone with this brand. I've purchased the dreadnaught in plain spruce many times, and now recently a burst finish, along with the cutaway in spruce (many times over), and they all were consistent. I've personally owned and donated about 15 of these guitars, as they are solid performers. They were sound choices for gifting to someone a tool that enabled personal expression and personal enablement, at a level that was of quality, and not just something mass produced. The guitar market of 2024 has so many samples to pick from, and guitars with pickups are not always ideal. The thought process behind buying a guitar should start with something like "I want to create", and that doesn't mean an electric pickup. When the power is off, and the phone is off, the mind is better tuned in to finding that 'inner something'. Does this guitar help that out? Yes, without a doubt. If you can develop your chops, of course a higher end guitar will offer a smoother neck, solid footing with fretting, and a better tone or sustain. But for the money? OMG, what if Jasmine was around during the time of Woodstock? They would have sold out for months. Start out basic, and this guitar is probably the best value for starting out basic., Even with a few Taylor and Martin's in my collection now, there will always be a Jasmine. Seriously. Unless the production mix changes (please don't change!!!), this is by far a great ROI for the purchase.

For the price this is a great guitar, slim necked for those with small hands and sounds great. A prompt delivery and was very well packaged .

Arrived on time, good packaging, the guitar itself is very good instrument for the asked price.Cool!
