Why do everyone puts the word beginner in anything cheap nowadays. Im no beginner just low budget and I got and love this guitar tbh and proud
That’s actually a really valid point! This guitar would be great for any skill level. Thanks for watching!
Couldn't agree more ( affordable for anyone who want's to play guitar ) just sounds more appropriate, I can't stand that " for beginners " statement, it puts the instrument in the cheap junk category.
Exactly, and I know beginners who have money who went and bought a damn expensive guitar as their first
It's not advertised as beginner to assume YOUR personal experience. It's meant as a way to tell newcomers that this budget option might good for them. A solid platform to experiment on if you think you want to try out learning a good guitar
Because beginners might not be able to afford stuff. My guitar is coming in a few days I just paid $60 for it.
this was my first acoustic guitar! It sounds still sounds amazing... a little rough on the fret ends but was easily fixable with some careful filing. 10/10 would buy again
Great! Thanks for watching!
I had this back when it was only $60 they’re amazing especially for starters
$60? Wow! What a steal! Do you still have it?
Thank you for doing this video, I appreciate that!
The guitar sounds great! Keep up the good videos.
nice video....as a proud guitar playing uncle..my 12 year old niece asked for a guitar and guitar lessons for christmas..saw this one at Guitar Center..good reviews there and here..im going to ger her this guitar
And I feel that for beginners, or advanced players needing a "campfire guitar" so to speak, this is amazing. Someone could easily learn on this, and enjoy playing it. Your adding this review gained a sub btw, good job!
Just saw this. Thanks again!
I have expensive guitars, but I picked this up to play outdoors. I play it constantly, and I don't have to worry about keeping it in a case. It has excellent action and the sound is solid for the price. It is great for beginners or those who want an extra guitar on the cheap.
I just purchased the guitar, then I found your video. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
Ive had mine for years, I'm now in uni for music theory and still play this guitar almost daily despite owning much, much nicer guitars. Not a bad purchase in the slightest. I will also note that the shape of the headstock changes from guitar to guitar. My grandfather's s35 has a much different headstock than mine, and the one in the vid is different to both of ours
Thanks for the comment. That’s great to hear. Also interesting info about the headstocks, I didn’t know that. Thanks again!
Bought one as a gift for my uncle who is a famous musician and he loves it and even gigs with it . Thanks for the review.
Excellent! Thanks for watching. Do you play too?
I recently Won a Jasmine S35U in a Lotto contest and Yes I agree : excellent beginner level guitar or campfire guitar. Thanks for the review.
Starts playing it at 8:06.
You’re an angel
I have been playing for 45 years and I have had all kinds of guitars. I can tell you that Jasmines are unbelievable. I have 6 or 7. Two of them are original Takamine Jasmines. One is a S35 and the other is E450CE-STRQ and they're awesome. I also have 3 other S35s and an S34c and JO36CE so you can tell that I love them and so will you!!
Thanks for the review! It sounds amazing. I just bought this & can’t wait to play it 😍🤍
Excellent! I'm glad you found it helpful! Did you get it yet?
@@Studio33guitar Yes I did, I love it ☺️
A friend of mine said he wanted a cheap entry level guitar to experiment on. I've already sent him this demo. Appreciate the feedback and playing demonstration! Please keep this kind of content going!
Thank you for the feedback and kind words! It's a great guitar! Did your friend end up getting one?
Thank you, I've been wanting to learn guitar for so long but prices were intimidating, so when I saw that listing I thought oh here's a shitty guitar that will brake when I touch it. But I consoled a pro and now know.
Jeffrey sounds better than I expected.You always hear you get what you pay for I i am however very impressed
super helpful :O) thank you - cheers
I bought this guitar from a local music store a few months back and it's what I'm using to learn how to play the guitar. I'm not too well versed in what makes a good guitar but I like how well it's served me so far and I'll certainly be using this a lot as I learn how to play.
Thanks for watching! This is a great choice for learning guitar on. How is learning coming along?
@@Studio33guitar It's a little tough figuring out how to actually move my hands across the fret board without muting notes but overall, I think it's coming along okay. Thanks for asking!
@@RenoisHere yes that’s a common struggle. You may find some of my other videos helpful (like “Proper left hand technique” or “5 reasons your chords don’t sound good”.
You can also check out more lessons on my website www.Studio33Guitar.com
Thanks for watching. If you have questions I’m happy to help!
hang in there - something that helped me was to learn the hard chords by forcing myself to play them a little bit every day - also take 3 random chords and play them not in order but mix them up - helps with speed also - what helped me also was taking the
D chord and slide it up and down the neck - good luck
I’m purchasing one today to begin my journey! Wish me luck
I got mine for $50 at a Houston pawnshop while I was traveling the country in my car with my dog last spring. Talk about bang for your buck. I’ve been playing for 13 years and it has become my most played guitar. Just jamming away blues on the porch, playing country music at bars for strangers.
Awesome Review 《☆》Either way it's a good deal🎸Donner guitars come with the strings wrapped in paper too. For good reason. The CopperNickle Frets are very soft. So Beware of that if you're wanting a long lasting guitar✌😎☯️
That sounded hella better than I expected, but in the hands of an expert like you, anything might sound good.
You play very good, and that sounds like a very good guitar
I just found a Jasmine S34C at a thrift store for $50. I lowered the action and it is a fantastic camping guitar. I am so happy with it. It has no business sounding as good as it does for $50. 😂
Been playing electric guitar since ‘96 and never owned nor played an acoustic before. I got mine thru Fingerhut about 5 years ago and I thought it as great. The only problem I had was with the bridge. After about 18 months, it wore grooves where the B and high E string cross it and that was after playing it for 30 to 60 minutes per day. I put a matchstick under it and that got another 12 months before I had to replace it; cost me a whole $1.98. The machine heads are really great too; never have a problem with it going out of tune. Other than that, it sounds amazing and the action is great; only slightly higher than my electric but didn’t affect my playing at all. Yeah, the top and back aren’t very thick but that doesn’t matter at all. I’ve played many solo and duo shows and have had no problem. The mic up very nicely. Would definitely recommend! 10 out of 10
Thanks for the comment! This is great info! It's nice to read a real life review like this!
surprising good sound! another proof that cheap doesn't mean bad quality!
I have this exact guitar and I personally love it. Sounds nice, feels nice, really is a great beginner guitar.
Thanks for commenting! Great to hear real life experience!
HI was wondering what size is the nut? String to string ? thx
One problem I've always seen with low-budget guitars is string height, was hoping for a heads up on that.
Thinking about buying this one, thanks for the video
Thanks for watching! Did you end up ordering one?
Did you get it?
If so how is it
Sounds Great I bought one as soon as I heard the sound of it! When it comes in I will be playing it in church!
Awesome! Did you get it yet?
@@Studio33guitar Yes and it sounds so good I love it!
I bought this guitar. I replaced the plastic nut, bridge, and string pins with bone, I replaced the machine heads using Hipshot tuners, and I had it professionally set up. I also installed a Kepma Double Go processor. This guitar is absolutely incredible in every way.
Is this the same guy named dale I saw in that Amazon review saying the same thing and ended up watching a CZcams review about the same guitar and commenting about the mods he did just like the review on Amazon ??
@@ChrispyCloudI think he is C.C. This channel’s review of this guitar is suspect. The comments don’t seem to ring true. Also, Troy gets a commission on anything he reviews or uses on the channel. 45 thousand views might result in quite a lot of sales. But right at the top of it: this guitar sounds horrible. It’s is not a real review or rating it IS a sales presentation.
It's hard to evaluate since nothing was said about some very important points.1. String height at the nut (first few frets). 2. Intonation. 3. String height at the12th fret.
You could hear the intonation was poor further up the neck. This guitar is suitable only for absolute beginners who will learn and play open chords.
You guys need to discover setups.
If you change the strings to good quality nylon the high buzz goes away and it sounds really good and it’s easier on the fingers for the newbies
Monoprice Idellwild is the best in that price range because it has a solid spruce top and non of the others in this range do they are all laminate top. Also they come set up very well. The next level best is Orangewood Guitars.
I got mine for like $50 on Amazon. It sounds a little twangy at times but I do love it especially for the price. Id say it's a great buy for the deal you're getting, I've played it for hundreds of hours
Sounds Great!!!
Can you tell me about the action? High strings or not?
Sounds good!!!
If u live in an EU country, u can get superb deals from thomann. Shipping cost for me is 12€ and I live in Finland.
Sounds great!
Thanks for watching!
Looks great! I’m planning on buying it
Great! DId you order one? It's a great guitar!
I am very impressed! Both at how nice it looks as well as the sound!
Yes it’s a great value! Thanks for watching!
This is the guitar I have
I didnt even know the price, got it as a gift today and it feels and sounds so amazing. This is my second acoustic, is so much easier on the fingers vs my abilene AW-25
My bad, (Abilene AW-20G)
far above its price, sounded considerably good!
for a cheap guitar this sounds amazing, i have two electric guitars but i like these for around the apt and backyard stuff.
Yes! It is excellent. Thanks for watching. How long have you played guitar?
i am 76 and when i was younger i used to play rhythm guitar and i was lead singer in bands and did singles as well but the last 30 years i have done very little especially the last 10 years
@@edwardmylnychuk5774 That's great that you are still at it. Guitar is such a great hobby to have!
Looks like Sapele to me....I've got two with that wood. It's 150.00 now!
I finally learned how to play guitar with this one. Make of that what you will, but it’s one of the smartest buys I’ve ever made.
That's awesome! It's a great guitar! How is the guitar learning going?
@@Studio33guitar it’s going well. Learned a lot of strumming songs. This week I learned my first finger-picking song. It unlocked a whole other dimension of sound the guitar can make. From what I’ve researched, it’s the mahogany top that helps give it such a warm sound.
Great job! One of the best things about guitar is there is never an end to what you can learn!
great sounding Guitar
Yes, it really is! I'm blown away at the quality and sound. Have you played one?
I dont have this Jasmine, but I do have one! I have played a squire acoustic against my Jasmine, mine sounded better. Played against an Alvarez sounds a hell of alot better.
Ive played guitar for over 16 years, now workin on the railroad its hard to play guitar with no freetime. As of now, this jasmine is $100 shipped to my door. Thats perfect for being able to play this as a litteral WorkHorse!
In my latest "doing everything backwards" adventure.. I'll be buying this exact guitar later on today for less than 100 bones...
20 years AFTER learning to play guitar on an electric lol 🙈🙈🙈🤷
I have this guitar can you recommend a soft gig bag for it? There are so many and descriptions are not clear. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply, just saw this. If you're still looking for a bag, this is a really nice one for a great price -

The bass response seemed to be a bit low. The highs are shiny. It seemed to skew toward the treble end of the spectrum. If not having a fuller, richer sound will work for you, this guitar will get the job done. Also, if you're playing with other instruments, like a bass guitar, then having more treble response from the Jasmine will allow the bass to occupy the bass range without competing with the Jasmine (Jasmine takes the treble, Bass takes the bass.) Also, if you're practicing in a place like an apartment, where you don't want to disturb your neighbors, having less bass response could be an advantage. I think that bass travels through walls easier. Lastly, on lead guitar tracks, having more treble could allow the Jasmine to cut through a mix.
Great points! Thanks for sharing! How long have you played guitar?
@@Studio33guitar Messing around with guitars since the mid 60s. Thanks for the review of the Jasmine guitar.
I love this guitar, I agree with you however, not much bass response. But I have used this in several of my recordings because it pushes through the mix and needs very little help on the eq it just sounds like an acoustic guitar. I swapped my strings for nylon covered steel strings to cut the finger noise and take out some of the "thwang"
I bought this guitar for 79 dollars at a pawn shop and it had a bone nut never played before with price tags on it and after four years of playing I gave it to my grandson that was made by Takaminie! I kinda hated to part with it! It required no setup what so ever! It had a solid spruce top with rosewood fretboard and the reason it sounded great was because it didn't have gloss maple with rosewood back and sides! I was told after I gave it away that they made 12 before they went to cheaper wood and they also made 6 acoustic electric and 9 12 string! It sounds better than the ones before they went to the cheaper made models! Someone offered my daughter 600 dollars and she turned it down because it was a present from me! WOW THAT'S INCREDIBLE LOL!
Thanks for the comment, great info! They are great guitars!
Yeah right…
Heard on my IPhone, this Jasmine Acoustic Dreadnought guitar sounds a little on the thin side. I didn’t hear any bass tone that “warms up” the sound of an acoustic guitar. But then, it is a low priced, “budget” guitar.
I bought one thinking it would be great but it makes a metal screech on some of the strings if they are played any solutions??
Thanks for watching! When does this screech happen? Is it from moving your fretting hand along the strings? Or another time?
no trush Rod????
Just bought it for my 10 year old grandson.
I bought that guitar and I think it sounded great.
Awesome! It is really great!
And... the... presentation... moves... along... at... a. .. snails... pace... to... increase... viewer time... on.... the.... video.... EIGHT MINUTES LATER we finally get to hear the actual guitar being played.
I got a orangewood oliver on sale recently for $175 and it sounds better than one I paid almost $700 on sale. I play the cheaper one way more and I don’t worry as much about it. A lot of people think if you don’t have a Martin or Taylor (which are awesome guitars) then it’s not worth playing! The best guitar is the one you can afford. I thought this guitar sounded good and you can’t beat the price no matter what level player you are!
I bought a 2nd-hand Walden D351 for $140… a bit of tlc, some new strings and a couple of hours setting it up - and it’s a superb instrument. You’re absolutely right about the cost of guitars - I have more expensive beasts and they’re a dream to play - but I have the Walden in my study, next to the PC - and it gets played many times each day! It’s true that the best guitar for you is the one you keep picking up - regardless of cost - even though I’d love a top of the range Martin or Ovation!
@@rebeccaabraham8652 I would love to have a top of the line Martin as well! Expensive guitars are amazing, but the cheaper ones are good too and I don’t worry about scratching it! Lol
You are absolutely right, sometime you can find some amazing cheap guitars!
Your right, and they seem to change from guitar to guitar. Yours is definitely sapele. I had one that was Agathis, more of a wavy pattern in the woodgrain. I have played one that looked like yours and to be honest it actually did seem more resonant but could have been strings difference etc. But they most definitely use different types of woods, probably whatever happens to be more convenient at the time. Nato is a decent hardwood and is used in lieu of mahogany alot in cheaper guitar
Thanks for the info! And confirmation of the sapele!
Nice video I enjoyed it you’re right you and I spend a lot of money on a very expensive guitar I don’t feel that I make the connection with that particular guitar I think it’s all about how are you building a deep
Thanks for the comment. It looks like the end got cut off though (?)
The guitar sounds great 👍
I was impressed! It sounds and feels great! Are you considering one? Thanks for watching!
I‘m no guitar player, but yes it sounds really good!
I think another reason for the great sound is your ambitious and soulful playing :-)
@@Make_My_Day Oh thank you very much!
The guitar sounds very tinny to me. No bass response.. it does look good though. As a beginner guitar or campfire guitar it's ok.
Does anyone know what the U stands for in S35-U ?? also, are these laminate tops?
Good question about the U, I'm not sure what it references. I can confirm that yes, it is a laminated top. Thanks for watching!
Did you try the jasmine s45 sk?
No, I’ve only tried this one. What is the difference?
I don't know? I just saw it on facebook
Great value for the price. The tuner pegs are no good though. Just swap those babies out.
Thanks for watching! Yes it's a great guitar. Upgrading the tuners would make it even better!
I'm barrowing my brother's guitar until I get Ed Sheeran's guitar pretty soon. It's $400and I can't wait. I wanted to see if a cheaper guitar sounded as great!
Thanks for watching! Did you get the Ed Sheeran guitar yet?
What £135 not bad for start of for guitar for beginners .👍
Yes it’s great! Are you in the UK?
Hello brother very good
Hello, thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it. How long have you played guitar?
To be clear, this is NOT a Jasmine by Takamine, correct?
Correct, from what I understand Takamine is no longer involved with the Jasmine line. Have you tried one?
@@Studio33guitar I had a Takamine years ago.
@@christopheraaron8299 Me too! Takamines are great. This one plays like a Takamine. Great guitar!
Been wanting a guitar for years now but I have some heart conditions not allowing me to work and I can’t draw disability and my parents are really poor and can’t afford one kinda sucks and I been bummed out for a while about it but I still have hope I’ll get a guitar 😊
💎✨👌
For the price it sounds very good. Still, it sounds like just a good, cheap, guitar. I was looking at buying one slightly used and I'm going to pass. I need more, because 6 string acoustic is my least favorite, so it's only going to be one.
Sounds like it either has intonation issues from the fretboard or you didn't tune it before beginning? Very out of tune??
Thanks for watching. I didn't notice when recording, but on playback yes I can notice some out of tune notes. This was tuned, but directly out of the box. I have since changed the strings and adjusted the intonation and it's great now. Thanks again
I want a guitar so send me here to malawi
As of writing this comment, the price rose to $159.99
8:39 that was Green Day
You got it!
@@Studio33guitar hooray 🎉
I paid $60 for mine it's coming in a few days.
Did you receive this yet? What do you think? Thanks for watching?
Sounds great
I was impressed! Thanks for watching. How long have you been playing guitar?
@@Studio33guitar on and off about 5 years. At first I had a hard time getting C Major chord, but with practice I got it. I love to play. I could play fot hours and not even get tired. I just recently got a new Rogue RA 090 Natural. The strings were dead on neck. All I had to do was tune it up, and it sounds great.
All you need is a two by four and tape a cardboard box to one end

Tho most I’ve spent on an electric guitar is $9,751
I think the sound is really bad, but it’s pretty.
A lot of the great sound is attributed to the player though. Funny if I go buy it it won't sound quite that good ? LOL.
That’s true, the player will affect the sound. How long have you been playing for?
Why do most of these comments sound fake (lies)?
It sounded worse than I hoped but good enough for the price point, but maybe its because I was listening to it on my phone...
Hi, thanks for watching. It sounds great "live" in the room. It's really a great guitar for the money!
You are way off on your fingering for "Free Falling"
It sounds terrible compared to the Harley Benton or the Orangewood guitars.
I'm selling my Jasmine takamine.
Because you don’t like it? Or just moving on?
Tah kah MEE NEH lol
85$ is not cheap
Very cheap when it comes to guitars
@@endlesspower23it’s $150 now
I need a cheap guitar because I’m homeless and need to make money using it
Useless review. Too much talk, too little playing and when he starts playing at 8:06, he plays only with pick, no finger picking.
Not to good.
Buy a better one for less on ebay.
Yes, sometimes you can get some great deals on used guitars! Thanks for watching!
8 minutes waffle....
Nope! Sounds like an 85 dollar guitar to me. You are not serious! You are a shilling and the comments are fake.
I just bought one today. I'm a pro level harmonica player and am also a percussionist and singer. I wanted to embark on a new dynamic.
Oh that's excellent! This is a great guitar to start with!
there is only cheap player , no cheap instrument
