EDITED-PRICE DROP & PAYMENT METHOD - IN RED- 8-31-08
As I explained in my FS thread on my '02 G&L Comanche, personal cirumstances have motivated me to part with some luxury items. This, my last Tacoma (I had 2 others), is one of them.
She was born in Tacoma, WA on July 16, 2005 (s/n I2660010) and is the first one I bought from my local dealer in '06, and got me all crazy for these fine guitars that, according to many, are in the same league as a number of 'boutique' brands, and cost about half or less of what a new Taylor or Martin would.
If you dabble with (or, more likely, are serious about) acoustics, then this all-solid woods Jumbo with Hawaiian Koa back & sides, Sitka Spruce top, one-piece 1 5/8" nut-width satin finish mahogany neck (the body & top are UV gloss), Tusq nut & saddle, ebony fingerboard, bridge & bridge pins (w/abalone inlay tops), tortoise bindings, abalone fret marker & headstock logo inlays, Gold Gotoh Tacoma tuners & a Fishman PrefixPlus Preamp onboard with the Matrix UST will light your fire.
If you dislike 'barndoor' onboard electronics on the side of an acoustic because you somehow have been led to think it has more than a minimal impact, then you can just hold that thought, hit your back button now and fahgeddaboudit, since she's got the Fishman PrefixPlus/Matrix UST system.
But if you want An Absolute Cannon with clear, balanced string articulation and a tone from Koa that many describe as a cross between mahogany & maple, and like the Fishman, then maybe you'll want to adopt her as your own.
Like my '02 Comanche in my other ad, she's never gigged and seldom left the smoke-free confines of my home studio and thus she & her case (Tacoma's best, Deluxe hardshell) are virtually mint.
She's been meticulously and lovingly kept with a Kyser Lifeguard in her mouth and stored in my 'humidor' guitar closet & cabinet at a constant 72 degrees F and 45-50% RH. I have not added a body strap button, but will include Tacoma's template & instructions to do so if you'd like.
Also included are the Kyser Lifeguard and 2 custom TRC's... a Pao Ferro and a Cocobolo (pics below) besides the stock black plastic one. Oh yeah...the trussrod wrench/screwdriver tool, case key, and Fishman manual, too. Strung with D'add EJ-16's (.010-.047).
It's a shame that Fender has shut town the Tacoma, WA factory this and so many other marvelous acoustics were made by some terrific luthiers and stopped producing this and other 'traditional' model acoustics.
This wonderful guitar originally listed for around $2,400US, I've seen only one recently or currently, alledgedly new, from an E-bay 'Store' with a BIN Price of (I think) $1,769.
She can be yours for $1,250 including shipping to the lower 48 U.S., professionally packed and shipped by my local dealer, or for $1,200, no shipping, if you're close enough to pick it up there (Hesperia, CA, 90 miles inland from Los Angeles). I don't do PayPal, so a money order mailed to me in advance will get this baby to my dealer's & on her way to a new home.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or more pics. Thanks.
