Newer Chinese cutaway acoustic guitar, but surprisingly of good quality
The second Jasmine that I've acquired in the last few months is another solid player, going against everything that I had read when browsing internet forums regarding these models made in China.
It looks like this model was built in 2008. Someone decided to paint the face red and it looks alright, but they didn't cover the soundhole when they did it. Another thing that stood out to me on this one was the tortoise shell binding along the body and fretboard, looks real sharp.
This guitar plays real easy and projects very well, along the lines of the older Takamines that I've played from Taiwan and Korea. The electronics seem to be above average too, with an EQ and two settings for the pickup. If you're in the market for an A/E and looking to spend around $150, it's a real good buy for a used guitar.
Thanks for looking, more high-resolution pictures here.
