Have been offered a Jasmine Takimine Guitar. looks in great condition, in a hard shell case, semi-acoustic. - almost new, hardly used.
Asking price $ 249.00 Canadian.

Looks like a good deal.

Not being a guitar player I am requesting your opinions. What would be a fair price ?. Etc.

Hi,
Take a look at 'Harmony Central', they have a user review section. You might find one there.

Nay-sayer alert: I've seen a few and none were worth what you're suggesting. For that money, you can get an A&L solid top, or related guitars from the same company. The Jasmines I've seen have had weak tone, too much finish, second rate hardware, and poor fit and finish, even for the money.

Fwiw.

Peace, Mooh.
