Feature:
good features for the money....

Quality:
Very excellent in this price range....some VERY small blips in the finish, but only seen with VERY close inspection. But I wanted a good guitar to learn and play, not a museum piece.

Value:
best of everything for the money

Desirability:
basic is beautiful

Sound:
for the money, good full sound. Not the best pickup, but that is cheap to replace. This guitar is the best sound for the money

Support:
havent needed support yet, but Karman music is BIG

Overall:
Your search for a teaching/learning guitar is over. After much research and consulting with musicians, this guitar is it! Dont spend alot to find out if guitar is your thing, but dont get a piece of crap that nobody can play. This guitar is great for learning and seasoned players alike. Good action, good tone, good brand name, good everything. Best yet, this guitar keeps its value due to its good reputation. If after trying to lean you find out you have no talent for music, you can likely re-sell this guitar for 80% of what you paid for it! Not much to loose huh??

Feature:
Well not a whole lot to it, pickup works well for the small gigs i play. Light guitar easy to play standing wont wear you out.

Quality:
Its black so fingerprints are inevitable, but the guitar is solid all the way around.

Value:
There is not a better one this guitar is hands down the best sound you can get for the money. Could easily be a 300 dollar guitar.

Desirability:
Such a nice look small body, pearl outline around it. Very attractive.

Sound:
Sound super papery until you get some better strings but after that sound is rich and full. Great sound

Ease of Use:
everything feels great, action is perfect, as mentioned before very light guitar

Support:
I'm gonna assume they are great i haven't had one problems so i wouldn't know.

Overall:
Get this to start with and keep for a long time, it is easy enough to teach and learn on and sounds good enough to play shows with, this guitar is great.

Feature:
a cool electric acoustic with cutaway body....sweet

Quality:
the wood feels cheap, but it's fine

Sound:
It sounds great for the price, by that I mean the lows seem resonate a little too much like alot of cheap guitars do, but not as much on this one. With Elixers on it, it sounds way better then with the strings that some on it.

This guitar has premium Takamine quality for a low price. Don't be fooled by the little price. The action on the guitar is awsome, and the sound is resillient. I use it in my recording studio and the performance is the same quality at the more expensive Takamine that I've previously owned (And retired as an antique since it was one of the first made). Don't miss out on this before their gone. I'm getting another one so you'd better hurry or I might buy them up for myself. Cliff Long

Feature:
The guitar didn't come with too many accessories but it was sufficient. I wasn't buying accessories, I was buying the guitar.

Quality:
Overall the quality is good. I've had this guitar for 6 years and it's held up great. My only complaint is that there seems to be a higher fret bar after the 14th fret that impacts the 6th string while trying to play frets 12, 13 and 14. I don't play up there too often and can probably get it fixed but that's the way it's been since I bought it.

Value:
For the price, this is a wonderful instrument.

Desirability:
It is pretty (I have the black one).

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is very rich and I have been completely happy with the depth.

Ease of Use:
The action on this guitar is very good. I had a friend who's had a more expensive Takamine comment on how he liked the action on my little Jasmine better than his.

Support:
I haven't dealt with support.

Overall:
I've had this as a beginner guitar for 6 years. I am just now looking for a new guitar. I never plan to get rid of this, it will always be my baby.

Feature:
This Jasmine has a passive pick-up that NEVER gave me ANY problems!

Quality:
One out of three made the cut. The finish is good. This product is perfectly reliable.

Value:
For this price, it is WORTH IT for a beginner.

Sound:
Over the past 4 years, my Jasmine developed good tone. The other two guitars of the same model my family owns, did not. One has a buzz on the twelth fret and is rarely used. The other is not used often either. The fact that I played my Jasmine almost everyday and changed the strings frequently made this guitar a good sounding one. This guitar was my very first one on where I learned to play. For the price, this is a very good guitar. Like I said, one out of three worked out. I play rythmic-like stuff, and this guitar lived throughout the bumps and bruises I put it through. The pick-up never gave me problems. NEVER. If it weren't for the other two failed attempts (of Jasmines in my family) this guitar would get a 10 for a GREAT student guitar.

Ease of Use:
As this guitar grew in age, the sound got better and richer. Of course, it will never have a Taylor, or Martin-esque quality of sound, but for a beginner, it doesn't get any better than a Jasmine. It is very playable.

Overall:
This is a great guitar. I am a beginner with friends who have been playing for a while. They all love it and tend to play my guitar over theirs. It's got great action and a warm sound. Buy it.. I did and have never looked back. My only complaint is that the tuning machines don't mount flush against the front of the head but it doesn't seem to affect the quality of the guitar or sound and they are easily replaceable.
