Jasmine guitars are designed by the same craftsmen who make the world's hottest-selling all wood acoustic guitar…takamine. this full-line consists of mini jumbos, dreadnoughts, 12-strings, cutaways and acoustic/electrics all with popular body styles and features for today's player. each model features all-wood construction, popular finishes, ping machines, durability, and quality, "takamine level" construction and d'addario exp strings for rich tone and long life. and the woods. notice the japanese laminated spruce tops (solid spruce tops on some models), the fully bound rosewood fingerboards. select jasmine models include a kmc music designed cp-100 in-bridge pickup and pre-amp system. an exlusive series of guitars at remarkably affordable prices.
This review is from: Jasmine by Takamine S33 Acoustic Guitar Pack (Electronics)
I received the guitar in a timely manner and the case it came with was pretty nice and sturdy.
However the moment I opened the case and looked at the guitar top, I realized that there are many unusual pits all along one side as if the top was made out of some wood partly eaten by insects. I was very frustrating and did not even look at other things! I contacted the seller and they told me it's not a manufacture defect, IT IS JUST THE WOOD THEY USE FOR THIS GUITAR!!
I returned the guitar and as a result lost 18$ for shipping (the company was kind enough to send me a return label)
Youtube "Brad Davis Demonstrates a Takamine Jasmine S33". If you look at the top very closely you can see those marks towards the neck. That guitar of course is handpicked because mine had those marks all over one side. So there is no guarantee yours will be as good.
