I played a Jasmine guitar for several years. It was a white, small body, with a cutaway and a piezo pickup. I loved the thing, although it sounded like a cardboard box with strings on it, and the pickup produced a horribly thin, inadequate sound! The reason I loved it was that I had it set up so well that the action was so slick it was almost unbelievable. Very easy to play.

However, for sound it had to be one of the worst guitars I've ever owned. I eventually resorted to better and more expensive guitars...Takamine, Yamaha, and Martin among them. The one I liked best of all was a particular Yamaha dreadnought with a Fishman pickup in it. Still got that one.

Like the other people, I highly recommend Seagull guitars and/or Yamaha (if you get a good one...some are better than others). I do not recommend Jasmine.
