Jasmine By Takamine S34C NEX Acoustic Guitar

Jasmine By Takamine S34C NEX Acoustic Guitar Review

I bought this guitar from a local dealer brand new after finding out my old guitar had some major fret lift problems. I am a beginner as well. So naturally, when choosing a new guitar, the dealer was kind enough to play several models, which included Yamaha, Sierra, and Fender. The Jasmine was the last instrument he played and where I may have felt hesitation or indecision with the other models, I instantly fell in love with the sound that came from this Jasmine. It was a no brainer for me. I am not a pro, and I have not been playing guitar for longer than a few months, so believe me, when I tell you there is an astounding difference in tone with this guitar, I am not lying to you. The Jasmine has a bright, airy, very acoustic sound to it and really does present music to the ears. It's not only beautiful, but easy to play as well.

This guitar has a laminate finish, so it's shine is attractive. There is also onboard electronics giving the artist an option to amplify the sound of the guitar, but it's not nessecary if you want to just play without one. The frets are easy to finger and there is just enough spacing between the strings for a learner to become quickly accustomed to chord changeups with little delay.

I did not use the strings that came with the guitar, instead I went with coated strings with smaller diameters (so it would be easier for me to finger the instrument). The pickguard is functional, and no, the brand name of the guitar isn't printed over and over, as another user said, remove the sticker and you are good to go. I intend to switch out my black guard for a tortoise one as that would really set off the beauty of this guitar even more and make it a little more my own.
