1980s-90s Jasmine By Takamine Model No. S80S Acoustic Guitar

This beauty was among the first Jasmines ever made, with exotic Brazilian Rosewood on the back and sides 

 

Don't be fooled by the Jasmine name on this absolutely astounding guitar, this one plays and sounds as nice as guitars that retail for twice the price.

Not sure exactly when this one was made, but I've read the line began around 1995 and this was the only solid top acoustic listed in their discontinued models, so it's only logical that it's an early model.

The beautiful dyed Brazilian rosewood on the back really gives it a unique touch and the way it plays and sounds make it more than just a pretty box. Also has a set of gold Ping tuners, which were stock on this model.

Thank you for looking. More high-resolution pictures here.
