If you look inside an acoustic guitar, you’ll see a series of sculpted wood pieces attached to the underside of the instrument’s top. These sculpted wood pieces comprise the guitar’s bracing. The primary function of the bracing is to support and maintain the structural stability of the guitar’s top. Bracing can also dramatically affect the way the guitar sounds, depending on how it’s constructed and its arrangement (called the bracing pattern).
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.
Jasmine Advanced “X” Bracing System
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.
The NEX guitar body is a scaled-down Jumbo at heart. It has a silky balance to the tone that supports vocals beautifully.

Amazing Guitar for All levels of players, Run don’t Walk, Just Buy it! I have been researching guitars and discovered Takamine and how they get such great reviews for their NEX body style and big sound. Takamine’s are quite expensive and since the body style seems different than most, didn’t want to spend that much. Takamine is the maker of this Jasmine guitar and it is the same design as their expensive guitars that can cost well over $1000. I discovered this guitar online and bought this guitar because of all the good reviews that I see on Amazon and other…
Yet Another Five-Star Review…. The Jasmine S34C is an outstanding value.I’m still having a bit of a diffiuclt time reconciling the guitar I received with the amount of money I spent for it.Mine arrived earlier this date, with the factory box inside a larger Amazon box and more than adequately cushioned from movement with plenty of crumpled packing paper.The guitar inside the factory box proved to about as perfect in build quality as human hands and machines can make such a thing out of the…
It’s BREAKING UP! Sorry to report that my son’s first guitar hasn’t even made it one year!I didn’t think it would last for decades but I did expect that he would get at least a few yrs out of it. Frankly, I thought he’d want a better guitar long before this one start falling apart.This was his Christmas gift and other than taking it to guitar practice, it never leaves the house. We made a stand for it a couple months after purchase and it sits there when he’s not practicing…
