I just baught a guitar today. Thinking that it would fit in my electric guitar soft case. However, it isn't deep enough so now it doesn't have a case and im out of money so I need to save some more.

'jasmine cutaway' doesnt sound too promising, I would avoid it..

hey is it a tamikian or a takamine? maybe you spelled it wrong? well if it is a takamine then to me thats the one i would get out of the choices you gave us. just look around some more and play the guitars you choose. just look around first before you are sure you want to get it.

For 350$ he can already have a real Takamine G series, some entry model. Jasmines are like Takamine's Squiers.

It's Takamine, and I wouldnt touch that "Jamison" or whatever it was called. Get the Tak', plenty of bang for the buck.

The jasmine is just a really low level tak. I prolly wouldnt recommend it, just save up more money for the hard case, cmon its the summer, what else you got to do.

I agree, and yes the Jasmines are like low end, beginner takamines. Ive played them before, they..are just that, beginner, crappy guitars

Also the Jasmine is most likely a laminated top and the Takamine is probably a sliod top. Before I got my guitar I was willing to spend less on a laminated top then a solid top but when I got out there and played both the solid top was 10 times better! Plus it will only get better as it gets older!

Yea if u meant Takamine id definitley go with one. Although Id have to say I a fan of Normans although barely ne one has heard of them, GO CANADIANS laugh.gif , they are pretty good especially for the money. Solidly built and u definitley get more than what u pay for.

I like the G series guitars very well made and I love the sound. U need to play it urself though to see if u like the sound because its only what u think of the guitar that matters. Test it out and see what it sounds like should be preety good
