Jasmine By Takamine S34C NEX Acoustic Guitar Review

Jasmine By Takamine S34C NEX Acoustic Guitar is a high quality, entry-level priced acoustic guitar made by one of the most notable brands in the industry. Takamine guitars are known for their comfortable designs and great tone, and this guitar does not disappoint.

Takamine’s high end guitars are used by professionals around the world, and they are valued for their durability, playability, and stunning looks. For the guitar novice or hobbyist, however, the more expensive models are probably out of reach, or are just not practical. For players looking for an inexpensive, but still great sounding guitar, the Jasmine by Takamine S34C NEX acoustic guitar is a terrific choice.

 
The guitar sounds great with the very first strum after tuning. The sound it produces is much bigger than a guitar of this size and price point would typically offer. The standard strings should probably be replaced by the strings of your choice, however, since you might prefer the sound of a different brand or gauge. The construction is good quality, and the caliber of the wood used in its construction is surprising considering the price. It features an authentic spruce top with the sides and back manufactured using nato wood. The fingerboard is rosewood, and it is fully bound, which is a nice feature for a value guitar.

As with any new guitar, you will want to check it thoroughly to determine if there are any manufacturing defects or imperfections in the wood. Sometimes the necks on cheaper guitars are not as solidly bound, as they are on models that are more expensive, so you should investigate the setting of the neck as well as the binding of the fretboard. If the frets are sticking out past the sides of the fingerboard, you should probably exchange your guitar for a different one.

The Jasmine by Takamine S34C NEX acoustic guitar is classified as a mini jumbo sized model, but you should not be discouraged by the “mini” designation. It is a normal size guitar that gets a good sound.
