Jasmine S35 Acoustic Guitar - Matte Black

The guitar was a gift for a beginner. We are pleased with the craftsmanship, appearance and overall quality. I would highly recommend!

After mentioning to my wife that I had always wanted to learn how to play guitar she shocked me by buying the Jasmine acoustic guitar set for my Christmas gift. I love the beautiful sunburst pattern, the craftsmanship and the rich sound! PLUS, the guitar came with everything you need to start playing and to protect it. Guitar picks, a capo, polishing cloth, a CD, music book, guitar case, etc. I’ve been practicing nearly everyday since getting it and I love it’s rich tone. It’s such a high quality, high value guitar, thank you!

Bought the guitar for a grandson. It looks really nice, has a great tone and was easy for him to tune and keep in tune. It was a good purchase and very reasonably priced! My grandson has been spending hours every day playing (nice to have him spending less time on video games!). The only problem we had at all with this purchase was that one of the zipper pulls on the gig bag just fell off the very first time he used it. I contacted the seller and they responded within minutes. They very quickly sent out a replacement gig bag! I am super impressed with both this product and the customer service provided by Austin Bazaar!!Don’t hesitate a second to buy this guitar from this seller! They have a great product and outstanding customer service! I highly recommend the Jasmine guitar bundle AND Austin Bazaar as a seller. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

Outstanding guitar. Good sound, good construction, a good price, complete great package including the case and additional items. Unfortunately neutral was ordered but got sent the sunburst. The seller was notified but I was still stuck with the sunburst. This was a gift with this neutral color requested. I would like to get one of these for myself but wonder what color I will get. Maybe get one and do a trade with the earlier gift.

I love the hard case and the jasmine is easy to play and has many accessories that come with like a tuner peg grabber plus three sets of different types of strings

OK for The price

This is a wonderful guitar for beginners, but would also be a keeper for advanced players. The guitar arrived in its hard case, and played beautifully right out of the box (after tuning, of course). It's well built, with an easy action, and has a surprisingly warm tone. The quality of all the items included in the package were as advertised. My only quibble was that the quality of the tuner could have been better, so I would recommend investing in a better tuner. Wasn't worth knocking off any stars from my review though. All in all, this is an excellent value. Highly recommended.

Overall this is a surprisingly nice guitar for the price. I bought it to have something to play when I visit my daughter without having to lug either of my other guitars (we live ten hours apart by car). My other two guitars are a 1946 Martin O-17 and a 1971 Yamaha fg200. This guitar plays well and sounds good. The bridge is fairly low, which will help the beginner. However, for reasons I cannot fully understand (and I did change strings, but it made no difference), the high E is almost impossible for me hold firmly enough in the first fret so as not to deaden it (and I have no problem with this on either of my other guitars), and the low E tends to buzz regardless of fret if it is picked so as to be loud. The high E problem is completely solved by using a capo on the second fret or higher. The low E issue just requires not plucking the string too hard. A final complaint is that I ordered it in natural and it came in black.

I spent a lot of time researching affordable guitars for beginners. I checked reviews both on Amazon and on established guitar reviewers' blogs. This one seemed almost too good to be true ... but so far it's just as good as they say.The sound is beautifully rich. I have small hands and short arms, but it's comfortable to hold and play. So far I can only play a few notes. So I had a friend with 20+ years of playing experience demonstrate, and it sounded so lovely. His reaction on opening the (very nice) hard case: "Oh, it's a Jasmine? Great." He said it was a very good brand both for beginners and professionals who need a decent guitar for travel.The tuner has been really helpful. Haven't tried the book or CD yet.My only complaint so far is that there was a strange rough (maybe rusty?) area on one of the strings. Luckily it was well past the soundhole, so I guess it's a cosmetic issue only the player would notice. It did make me wonder, though, if the strings had already been used. Weird. But again no real effect on playing or the sound.Two pieces of advice I got from my longtime-player friend: 1. Go to a professional to get the guitar "set up" properly. Especially adjusting the height of the strings over the frets (called "action" ??). I haven't done it yet but he says it makes ALL the difference in how comfortable a guitar is to play. 2. Expect to tune a lot in the first month, until the wood & strings are used to your area's temp & humidity. I do have to tune every time I play, but then it's only been a couple of weeks. So apparently that's normal.Conclusion: this guitar is affordable, beautiful, sounds great, and has everything I need now (as a beginner) and for a long time to come. I'm totally satisfied. :-)

I bought this guitar several weeks ago. Considering a very low price, I expected something that would need a lot of attention to make it playable and even so it would be good just for a dirty job.However, this guitar is awesome. Very neatly done. No sharp edges on frets, action is just right, neck is perfectly straight. It holds tune, sounds great and intonation is right on. Wow! I couldn't be happier.

This is a guitar for myself

I am not very impressed with this Jasmine guitar. The head stocks had a few loose knobs and the fret buzz that I am still trying to fix. The resonance is OK and nothing to write home about. I may replace the strings and see if it sounds better.

Best gift
