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.
I think it may be done to save labor, but the truss rod is often not tightened, and the saddle is too high.
This guitar also has the capability to sound like a $400 guitar, but this will cost 20 in extra parts. A TUSQ saddle and a new set of strings. I prefer medium-light for these lesser expensive guys, if the action is set correctly, it will be easy to play and sound beautiful. These are not necessary, but for all the reviewers who say this doesn't sound as good as some of the nice ones, put the new saddle on and the new strings, set the action, torque the truss rod, and you have yourself a wonderful sounding guitar.
Regardless of your experience with guitars, an easy test to see if this guitar needs to be set up is to stick a quarter under the 12th fret. If it has room on top of it before it touches the string, it will need to be set up. Proceed to step 1, if the quarter fits just perfectly with no room, congrats, you got lucky, you are ready to play.
1.) If you are new to guitar, I would highly recommend taking it to a guitar shop and having them set your action. This will usually cost 20-30 bucks but will make this guitar play really nicely, and your progression as a guitarist will be effortless instead of very difficult. I dont recommend spending the extra money on a new saddle or new strings for a beginner. To them, this thing will sound full bodied as it is, and you can switch out the saddle and the strings in 6 months or a year when you replace the strings anyway.
If you are not new, or new but handy with little repairs and such, go on you-tube and type in "how to set up your new guitar" A great video of how to set it up. For anyone experienced with guitars, the sound quality will be pretty good stock, but to make it resonate and sound full bodied and amazing (like a true solid spruce top guitar) change out the saddle for a TUSQ or something equivalent and buy some Ernie ball Earthwood medium light 80/20 strings. Together they run $20 and once your action is set correctly and your truss tightened perfectly this thing will sound like a $400 takamine, No joke.
I keep referring to the action, this is the amount of space between the frets and the strings, it is the most crucial part of setting up a new guitar and will make ease of playing, sound quality and the whole experience fantastic. The way to decrease action is to loosen the strings enough to pull the saddle out and sand it down 1/32 - 1/8th inch depending on how much is needed. This process takes less than 10 minutes yet many players don't know how, or don't know that this is an option.
Many reviewers on here say that the "action is too high" which it may be, but it is VERY easy to fix, and makes or breaks any inexpensive guitar. Please don't listen to the bad reviews from the individuals that have not yet set up their action correctly, this is a takamine (Taak-ah-mani)which is a fantastic brand that makes fantastic quality guitars, do not be fooled by the price tag. This is a beauty, and is simple but perfect for any person with a spare 100 bucks.
And honestly, I would not buy any guitar upgrade until you could afford a Seagull s6 (roughly $400) as the seagull will play like a $1,200 guitar. DO NOT waste your money on any other cheap guitar out there, and remember... when you buy a new guitar, it needs to be set up!
You now know more than 90% of the people out there, so the next time you hear someone saying "the action is way too high" or "This cheap guitar doesn't have sustain" or "this doesn't sound full bodied like the nice ones." Just smile and know that all they need is to buy a new saddle, some new strings, and adjust the action (all less than 20 bucks if you do the work yourself). I have seen friends buy $1000 guitars and never sand the saddle down, it makes me sad.
I know this is long guys, but thank you for reading, I highly recommend this guy, and I highly recommend the seagull s6 as the next guitar upgrade. Have fun playing!

Now I am an obsessive researcher. I spend months reading and learning about products and activities before I spend a penny.
This coupled with my previous knowledge and failings to stick to it, I knew what I needed and what would truly impact my sticking to it now.
An instrument has to be appealing, visually and sonically so you will want to pick it up.
These Jasmins are gorgeous. The colors that come out of the wood imbue the instrument with a warm, cozy, and familiar feeling. Holding it makes you feel like sitting around a fire with friends.
Sonically the guitar is warm and rich with just the right amount of brightness. Even in my inexperienced hands its notes ring true. No buzzing here.
Right out of the box, I let it sit in my house for several hours to acclimatize to what will be it's normal temperature. Then I brought each string a bit closer to being in tune, let it sit for a few minutes to give the neck a chance to adjust to the tension. Then I actually put the guitar into tune.
The strings are of decent quality, unfortunately my g string has damage right over the sound hole so I wont be getting much life out of these strings.
That single bur on my g is the only complaint I have. The tuners while not being any marked brand, feel excellent and have zero slop. That being said I have needed to tune the guitar every time I've picked it up. I accredit that to new strings on a new neck tho, as every string is off by the same amount flat each time.
The action was set beautifully. Perfectly actually the same as I've paid luthiers previously to get right. In other words for the people who don't know. The string height is adjusted to a better distance above the neck making it easier to play.
The guitar comes with nothing but the allan key for truss rod adjustment. If you're new this affects the curvature of the neck and as I just said the action is already perfect so you don't need this tool.
However you should get a tuner, capo, case, some pics and either a stand or a hanger.
If you are learning on your own at home there is a ton of resources to aid you. Personally I have found justinguitar, fender play and yourguitsrsage to be the best available.
The finger pain will pass, don't keep at it ro long at any one time until you've developed callouses. If you do you're only going to dislike the process.
Rock on.
A prompt delivery and was very well packaged .
Strings are poor quality, I changed for new good quality strings and all is working great now
