These sculpted wood pieces comprise the guitar's bracing. The primary function of the bracing is to support and maintain the structural stability of the guitar's top. Bracing can also dramatically affect the way the guitar sounds, depending on how it's constructed and its arrangement (called the bracing pattern).There are many different types of bracing patterns. The most common and enduring pattern used on steel-string acoustic guitars is called "X" bracing; so named for the two braces that form an "X" by crossing each other in the middle of the pattern.Jasmine Advanced "X" Bracing SystemNot all "X" bracing patterns are created equal, however. Jasmine's "Advanced X Bracing" system features a "forward-shifted" "X" bracing pattern that places the braces closer to the soundhole, producing a livelier, more open sound with improved definition and note detail.The quartersawn braces provide exceptional stability, with a scalloped design that reduces weight and lets the top vibrate more freely, resulting in better sound. A solid rosewood bridge plate rounds out this remarkable package by providing superior balance and note separation. The NEX guitar body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart. It has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully. 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.

Review Image by Hamil Flynch Hamil Flynch
I’ve been playing for 22 years and I’ve always stuck with acoustic guitars in the $300-$500 guitars because I think it’s a good sweet spot but I needed an inexpensive guitar to keep at my shop. I was super hesitant to get something in this price point because they usually feel super cheap and can sometime sound too metallic, too bright (Fender in particular) or just too hollow. I played a friend’s Jasmine and loved it so I decided to test my luck and order this one. I’m so happy I did because it sounds great! It’s well balanced with the lows and Highs and it’s very comfortable to play since it’s smaller at the neck but full at the bridge giving it the full sustain of a dreadnought but slightly less bulky in the hands. • I do have to say that you will want to immediately adjust the truss rod and change out the strings. After that the action feels great and it sounds superb. It looks really nice without a Pickguard but I ordered a $6 set of pickguards on Amazon because I love the look of the hummingbird pickguard on acoustics and I think it looks great on this Jasmine. • My only real gripe was with shipping. I wish that they double boxed it because when it arrived the top portion of the Box came unattached allowing me to just lift it off without cutting it or pulling the staples out on the corners. It still arrived undamaged but beware if your local USPS isn’t typically kind to your shipments. I would have only put 4 stars because of shipping but I’m reviewing the guitar, not the shipping. I hope this helps anybody out there that already plays and is afraid that this guitar might stink because of the low price. ... show more

    • Wow, where do I begin?
Pattern: GUITARS Style: Acoustic Guitar
I currently own seven guitars, all different, to accommodate/enhance various styles of play. My acoustic workhorse has been an Ovation Celebrity - nothing fancy, not a great tone, but it plays really well and it sounds nice when amplified. I bought this Jasmine for a few reasons - 1) I wanted a beater guitar for camping trips, 2) I wanted a guitar that I could leave in an alternate tuning (probably DADGAD), and 3) because of reason #1, I didn't want to pay much. After finding this guitar (priced at about $85.00) and reading the reviews, my curiosity was piqued so I thought I'd give it a try. I've had it for about a week now and I'm back at square one in a way. This guitar looks too pretty (the satin finish is beautiful), sounds too great (wonderful tone, great sustain, superb intonation), and plays too well (the action was decent right out of the box, no fret buzz anywhere) to use it for its intended purpose! In fact, this 'budget' guitar is the first guitar I've ever owned that I've considered honoring it with a name. I'm selling the Ovation because it just can't compete tonally with this Jasmine. I've already ordered a second. And if the second is consistent with the first, I'll probably order a third (for camping... ?)! In the words of Vizzini, "it's inconceivable" that a guitar this nice would be so cheap! A note to beginners: I highly recommend this guitar to any adult (or almost-adult-sized child) wanting to learn to play - it's inexpensive, it plays well (if properly adjusted), and it has a wonderful tone. Having said that, I would like to add this: The guitar strings will need to be changed occasionally due to use; they will lose tonal quality, they may break. In fact, you may need to change them from the outset (don't be alarmed or disappointed - it happens, particularly with inexpensive guitars. And they're pretty cheap). There is a variety from which to choose but I would recommend starting with a 'Silk and Steel' type - they're typically easier on new (un-calloused) fingertips. Once your fretting fingers are toughened, you'll want to experiment, as your string choice will affect your playing style as well as your tone. The action (the distance from the strings to the fingerboard) may need to be adjusted to make playing easier. As a general rule, if the strings are higher than the thickness of a US quarter (measured at the 12th fret), the action needs to be lowered. If the strings are lower than that, you're probably getting fret buzz (from the string(s) vibrating against a fret when the string is plucked). Most music stores can correct this (for a fee), or an experienced guitar-playing friend may be kind enough to help. You can do it yourself if you're so inclined (instructional videos can be easily found on YouTube) but I would strongly suggest having an experienced person oversee your first few efforts. There are a couple of accessories that will be greatly beneficial and should be acquired immediately if you don't already have them: 1) A guitar case or a guitar stand (you have to do something to keep it safe when you're not playing it). 2) A guitar tuner. 3) Guitar picks (plectrums). You don't necessarily need these; some guitarists prefer to play with their fingers. But most use a pick. There is a wide variety, so experiment. They not only affect your ease of play but, if you pay attention, you'll notice they also affect the tone you're getting. In fact, I use specific picks for different guitars. 4) A neck strap. Another item you don't necessarily need (if you always sit while playing). If you want to stand while playing, it's a virtual necessity. I hope this has helped! ... show more

    • Good starter or second guitar
Pattern: GUITARS Style: Acoustic Guitar
I decided to purchase a second guitar after getting tired of tuning/re-tuning my Yamaha APX-600 between standard and alternate tunings, and I wanted to have 1 guitar that stays in standard tuning, and another that I can keep in alternative tunings (learning Hawaiian Slack Key as well as standard). I didn't want to break the bank on a second guitar, and the Jasmine S34C NEX was also showing up in all of the "best budget guitar" lists, so thought I would try it out. Having a Yamaha APX-600 (also on all of the "best budget guitar" lists), I can really compare the two. It came undamaged (double boxed), and I inspected it closely before I started messing with it. It looked ok, so I went ahead and tuned it up, and started playing it. It had a surprisingly bright/nice tone to it. The nut didn't have any graphite or anything on it, so the strings popped and carried on while I tuned it, but it was able to be tuned with the stock strings, and played some chords and it sounded nice. I then went and tuned it to an alternate tuning (open G or Taro Patch), and played a little slack key on it, and decided the Jasmine will be my slack key learning guitar...it sounded great. So far, so good. I did some more playing on it and really took a close look at it, and found a few flaws that show it's a sub $150 guitar, but nothing show-stopping. The frets are a bit sharp in places (where the Yamaha did not have any sharp ones). The finish is inconsistent in places (not a big deal, not noticeable unless you are looking for it). Wish I could have made the choice about the pickguard (I will pull it off gently), the strings are a bit high at 12th fret (almost all guitars need a setup - the Yamaha was high too), but the reason I am lowering it a bit star wise is because of the tuners. They aren't the greatest. They have some slop to them, one of them has the mounting collar sticking out a bit, and they are not the most precise. They work, but I plan on replacing them - my Yamaha APX (which is on the high-end price-wise of budget guitars) has nicer tuners that did not have any of the problems like the Jasmine. Both the Jasmine and the Yamaha have "synthetic bone" nut & saddles (plastic), and both have plastic bridge pins, which I intend to change with bone, but don't expect anything but plastic for those parts at this price level. The Jasmine is lighter than the Yamaha, but the Yamaha also has electrics in it, so that adds to a bit of weight. The Jasmine feels a bit fragile - maybe it's just me, but I want to be a bit more careful when using. Not that I feel it's made of paper, but I just want to be a bit careful with it. Do I regret buying the S34C? No. For the price, it's a nice guitar that plays well right out of the box. As more than one person has said in the reviews, it's just going to take a bit of work to get it all the way across the finish line. I had expected to change the strings, put bone nut/saddle and wood bridge pins on it, and get the string height adjusted, but sharp frets and the tuners were a bit of a surprise. When I am changing all of the other parts, I can change out the tuners as well. The fit and finish on the S34 is a touch lower quality from the Yamaha (but the Yamaha is almost 3x higher price), but not so bad that I would return it. I would recommend this for a beginner, or someone wanting a second guitar, especially if budget is a concern. If you buy one, just really go over it to make sure that it's all ok (or take it to luthier/guitar shop to check) before the return window, so your not stuck with a problem guitar. I play it every day and enjoy practicing on it in its stock form, so it just needs a bit of work to make it a really nice guitar. Jasmine has a nice product for the price (don't know how they do it), and I would recommend to someone looking for a guitar at a good price. UPDATE: The more I play this guitar, the more I enjoy it. I just changed the nut and saddle with bone and rosewood bridge pins, and that warmed up the tone a bit. I played it stock for almost a month, and played it almost every day, and really enjoyed it. I would give it 4.5 stars....if the tuners were a bit better, I would give it 5 stars. They stay in tune, but just a bit sloppy. 6-month update: Outside of the tuners being sloppy (they are...I just have been lazy and haven't changed them yet), this guitar is still going strong. I play it almost every day, and there have been no problems with it outside of the tuners being a bit sloppy and they lose their tune a bit somedays. The body has no problems at all...no cracks or anything coming undone. I still keep my rating on it as a 4+, and would recommend it to someone looking for a budget guitar. ... show more
