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.

Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar

Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar Review

tl;dr: guitar is cheap, looks great, but default set of strings sucked (there was twanging). New set of strings and a little aging has fixed everything.

I got this guitar because I wanted a cheap starter instrument to learn with. I was originally leaning towards getting an electric guitar, but a basic Fender Strat starts at 0. I decided if I continued to play, I'd shell out for a really quality electric in a few years rather than risking the higher price point now.

The guitar came in excellent condition and looked great (it continues to look great to this day). However, the guitar sounded pretty lame and the G and D strings tended to resonate and make this really bad twanging noise. It sucked, but I considered it a flaw in the default strings rather than the guitar, so I didn't do anything except keep playing. I figured since I'd eventually change the strings anyways, it wasn't a big deal.

After 3-4 weeks of practicing 15-30 minutes a day, the high E string snapped (I was pretty surprised at how quickly it gave out). So I immediately put down for a quality set of new strings and restrung the guitar. Once I'd restrung the guitar, I found that it sounded considerably better but there was still a slight resonance and twanging from the G and D strings. However, I wasn't too concerned because I figured the twanging would cease as the guitar aged.

Sure enough, it's been a few months and the twanging has completely disappeared. The guitar sounds better than ever and this new set of strings is holding up great.

Overall: this is a great starter guitar in my opinion. Cheap, good looking, and good sounding given a bit of aging and the right set of strings.
