Jasmine JO36-NAT J-Series Acoustic Guitar, Natural

The Jasmine JO-36 is a sharp-looking orchestra-style guitar with a sweet, articulate sound and refined features. Great for a wide range of playing styles from delicate fingerpicking to robust strumming, the JO-36 has a compact body featuring a select spruce top with Jasmine’s Advanced “X” Bracing, and sapele back and sides. The slim neck and short 24 3/4″ scale length provide comfortable feel and exceptional playability that will have you playing things you never thought possible. Other premium features include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, chrome die-cast tuners for great tuning stability, pearloid rosette and full gloss Natural finish.

There are many different types of bracing patterns. The most common and enduring pattern used on steel-string acoustic guitars is called “X” bracing; so named for the two braces that form an “X” by crossing each other in the middle of the pattern.Not all “X” bracing patterns are created equal, however. 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 lets the top vibrate more freely, resulting in better sound. A solid rosewood bridge plate rounds out this remarkable package by providing superior balance and note separation.
