Category: takamine guitar
The Jasmine S-34C is a stylish grand orchestra-style guitar that provides exceptional value with its rich, well-balanced sound and graceful Venetian-style cutaway. Designed for any player seeking a well-built and easy-playing guitar, the S-34C features a select spruce top with Jasmine's Advanced "X" Bracing, as well as sapele back and sides.
The slim neck and full 25 1/2" scale length of the S-34C offer a comfortable feel and excellent playability, while the smooth satin finish maximizes resonance for optimal sound quality. Additional features include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, full body binding, and chrome tuners.
The bracing system plays a vital role in the guitar's performance and sound. The primary function of the bracing is to support and maintain the structural stability of the guitar's top, and it can also dramatically affect the guitar's tonal properties. The most common and enduring bracing pattern used on steel-string acoustic guitars is called "X" bracing, named for the two braces that form an "X" by crossing each other in the middle of the pattern.
Jasmine's "Advanced X Bracing" system features a "forward-shifted" "X" bracing pattern that places the braces closer to the soundhole, producing a livelier, more open sound with improved definition and note detail. The quartersawn braces provide exceptional stability, with a scalloped design that reduces weight and allows the top to vibrate more freely, resulting in better sound. A solid rosewood bridge plate further enhances the guitar's balance and note separation.
Jasmine guitars are designed by the same craftsmen who create the world-renowned Takamine acoustic guitars. The Jasmine line offers a full range of models, including mini jumbos, dreadnoughts, 12-strings, cutaways, and acoustic/electrics, all with popular body styles and features tailored for today's players. Each Jasmine guitar features all-wood construction, quality finishes, reliable tuning machines, and durable, "Takamine-level" craftsmanship.
The Jasmine S-34C is a standout model in the lineup, boasting a dreadnought body style, a laminate spruce top, and sapele back and sides. The rosewood fingerboard, synthetic bone nut and saddle, and D'Addario EXP strings contribute to the guitar's rich, balanced tone and long-lasting performance. Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner, the Jasmine S-34C offers an exceptional value proposition, delivering professional-level features and sound quality at an affordable price point.
