Feature:
my mom got this guitar a long time ago. and i STILL use it. the tuners are very nice, stays in tune unless u start hitting the strings repeatedly, but that doesn't happen for palm mutes.the pickguard is useful, and the bridge sturdy. definetely worth it.

Quality:
i love it. as i said, it is very durable and will last you a long time. if it broke, i would lay down and cry my eyes out. the stock parts are perfect, not much use in replacing them. i dont worry about breaking anything. you cant take it anywhere and not worry about it being damaged. the only thing i would worry about is maybe denting it on the sides, but that probably wont happen.

Value:
perfect. nothing else will i need to say. . .

Desirability:
buy it.

Sound:
oh, i love it. you just pick it up and play; no problems at all, except that the 1st fret is a little hard to press down at first. it sounds rich, very rich!

Ease of Use:
BUY IT. tuners are easy to use, sounds come how you want them to, low fret buzzing. it will work fine if you totally remodel everything from the bridge to the strings to the tuners. just perfect, and very playable.

Support:
I have not dealt with takamine, so i will give them the benefit of the doubt.

Overall:
perfect.

The beautiful satin finish is very appealing.
The sound is rich. This is a great find !
The sturdiness and finish is high caliber and much more than I would expect.
Buy with confidence. For a few dollars more than the cheap beginner guitars, you will have a keeper in this Jasmine instrument.

Feature:
what features? you can adjust the neck. that's alright I guess, every other acoustic has it though

Quality:
it's not a solid top so for the dollar it's good, the head looks like it might be cracking a bit but no loss on sound. and plenty of people have dropped it. I baby my seagull though

Value:
for the price. this is a great guitar.

Desirability:
this guitar I wouldn't have particularly wanted unless I was on a budget or just starting out. i was just starting out but i was ignorant, either way it was a gift that i've obviously played for 6 years.

Sound:
I've had this guitar for about 6 years. nice sound, not my fav but my first. with some elixers on it, you can't beat the price. not as warm as I like but nice.

Ease of Use:
once you adjust the neck to bring the strings down it isn't bad, but I had caluses on my fingers for a while till the adjustment

Support:
never had to contact.

Overall:
I'm always looking at other guitars but I suppose I didn't need any others for a while took me 4 or 5 years to buy another.

Feature:
I got mine from a pawn shop, so it didn't come with any accessories.

Quality:
Very good quality.

Value:
Awesome value. Be sure to set it up correctly: action, tuning, etc. Once you do that, you'll have an awesome guitar.

Desirability:
I got a darker color wood. It looks awesome.

Sound:
For the price, this is THE best sounding guitar you'll get. It has a large, full sound. Slap some nice strings on there and you'll get a really nice sound.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use.

Support:
Didn't have to deal with company.

Overall:
I've owned the guitar for about a week now. For the price, this is the best guitar you'll find.

Desirability:
It is a begginer guitar for me to get used to it and just the desire to play as much as i can to get better.

Sound:
Well i just got it but when u really tune it well and start to really play it it can be a great guitar for a beginer.

Support:
I dont know cause i havent had a pproblem with it as much as i thought i would have trouble.

Quality:
Pegs come out sometimes, and have to retune.

Value:
For the price, can't beat it.

Overall:
I'd pay 50 bucks more and get a decent guitar. This guitar is hard to play. If you're going for something cheap, this would be a start. If you plan on playing some advanced music, expect an upgrade.

I bought this guitar two years ago when I first started playing. I thought I would have outgrown it and purchased something more expensive. I haven't. Even after shopping around and playing many others, nothing has convinced me that spending 3-4 times more is going to get me better sound or action that can justify the price.

Had a friend by an expensive Martin. After two weeks with the Martin, he said he would still take my guitar over that.
