Takamine Jasmine Review

History:

Purchase: I bought this for my first guitar, from Flood Music in Sioux Falls SD. I paid a little over $100. It was reccommended to me by the owner of the store.

Pros: This is a very lightweight guitar with very light sound. It has really good sound quality for how much I paid. Its got a warm tone and sounds best when played soft. It is also very durable, as it has been dropped several times and survived with no damage.



Cons: The bridge pegs are buried so far into the bridge that I had to sacrifice cosmetics for new strings. Every time I have to dig the pegs out, the guitar suffers new bridge chips and scratches. The finish is also wearing off where the guitar rests against my body. When played loudly, this guitar has very audible buzzes

Jasmine Quality: Good construction. Double top bracing. Artifical bindings

Takamine Summary: Great guitar for the money, Great for any beginner.
