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. Spend some more money and get a more decent guitar!
Great Starter, BUT....,

I received this item today, and I'm disappointed in the fact that it says it's a "Guitar Pack", when reading descriptions of other items called "Guitar Packs" they usually include a set of picks, a tuner and maybe a shoulder strap. This included nothing. It's just the guitar and the hard case. I hope this helps anyone else thinking of buying this item because they think it might be a "pack" for beginners. Other than that issue, it is a nice guitar.
