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??

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.

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:
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.

Feature:
The electronics are basic but what can u expect for this price range. these electronics work just fine. It dosent have buit in tuner like the expensive ones do but u dont really need it

Quality:
i have yet to find something wrong with it. The only thing i did was lower the bridge but thats just what i like. This product is very reliable for the price. iv had mine 2 years and there isnt a thing wrong with it.

Value:
this is a great value for this guitar for a beginner or intermediate guitar player.

Desirability:
it looks better in person. i like the cut out so u can reach thoes high fretts. Sexy guitar

Sound:
this acoustic has a great sound for the price for me i just wanted one to mess around on because i mostly play electric but im starting to like acoustic alot more once i bought this thing. It sounds good pluged in to my behringer 2x12.

Ease of Use:
just like any other guitar either plug it in and play or leave it unpluged. Sounds great both ways

Support:
i didnt have to use it dont plan on it

Overall:
i will keep this product for along time it plays as good as the day i bought it so theres no need to upgrade. Buy this guitar
