The nut width on this guitar is 1.75", which is not as common as the 1 11/16th that all other guitar manufacturers seem to produce. The Jasmine acoustic guitar (whether dreadnaught or cut away, sans pickup) is still the best value for the money for an entry level guitar. I purchased the sunburst model to gift to someone, and it performed, like others, so excellent for the money that I wanted one of my own. Whether it's the bracing or the nut width (I lean towards the playability of the 1.75" nut width), the Jasmine acoustic guitar is by far still one of the best starter guitars/beater guitars around. As they age they sound better, and if you should choose to upgrade the tuners, even more so. I donate to charitable causes when I can, and this guitar is a go-to for quality as a kick a$$ donation item. It is NOT in the realm of Esteban or others; it by far exceeds them, and they seem to hold up over time. When you combine the 1.75" nut width with quality bracing, you end up with a great sounding guitar. If one learns on this model and wants more capability, then of course move to a Martin (Mexico or USA made), or Taylor (Mexico or USA made), or Breedlove (unsure of origin, so play before purchase; USA models are AWESOME), or other where budget permits. But for the money, you can't beat the sweetness of the tone with this brand. I've purchased the dreadnaught in plain spruce many times, and now recently a burst finish, along with the cutaway in spruce (many times over), and they all were consistent. I've personally owned and donated about 15 of these guitars, as they are solid performers. They were sound choices for gifting to someone a tool that enabled personal expression and personal enablement, at a level that was of quality, and not just something mass produced.
The guitar market of 2024 has so many samples to pick from, and guitars with pickups are not always ideal. The thought process behind buying a guitar should start with something like "I want to create", and that doesn't mean an electric pickup. When the power is off, and the phone is off, the mind is better tuned in to finding that 'inner something'. Does this guitar help that out? Yes, without a doubt. If you can develop your chops, of course a higher end guitar will offer a smoother neck, solid footing with fretting, and a better tone or sustain. But for the money? OMG, what if Jasmine was around during the time of Woodstock? They would have sold out for months. Start out basic, and this guitar is probably the best value for starting out basic., Even with a few Taylor and Martin's in my collection now, there will always be a Jasmine. Seriously. Unless the production mix changes (please don't change!!!), this is by far a great ROI for the purchase.

Broken Machine Head
I bought this guitar for members to use at a drop-in community support center. I've been playing for 20 years, and my first guitar was a Jasmine from back when the brand was owned by Takamine. I was afraid that the quality would be less than in the Takamine days.It arrived today and sounds pretty great! Unfortunately, the back of the guitar has a scratch on it, and one of the machine heads is missing a tuning key. Bummer. Seller, please send me a new machine head so I can replace it!
