Sorry for the lack of details - it is indeed a DR-14, 2004 build, all solid woods (rosewood and spruce), one piece mahogany neck. I got it on ebay from a pawnshop in Tacoma (!), and paid a little over $600. including the shipping. It's in spotless condition, nicely set up with low action - real easy to play - I got lucky all around!

I posted earlier about the beautiful Seagull Mosaic I tried whith my 20% off coupon with MF. I thought it would be a likely bet as I have an Art & Lutherie cedar top made by Seagull that I really like, and the Mosaic also has a cedar top (mahogany sides). It was wonderful all around - especially the build, woods and details - but it was a quiet instrument and I wanted something more full-voiced.

I had played some Larivee's and really liked them in the store - at first it was a rosewood D3 - which made me realize that I prefered the rosewood sound - but on further playing, I thought I liked the OM rosewood better (I played an OM5, but ordered an OM3). I was stunned and disappointed (with myself) when I got it home and found that it was just not the voice I wanted - again, a wonderful instrument that played beautifully and had great tone, but not what I felt a soul connection to.

When the Tacoma arrived and I restrung it, I got the same feeling that I had when I had played a used DR-20 model in a store. Big, rich, warm, shimmering sound. Of course, as you all know, it's such a subjective thing, but this guitar is the one that does it for me. It doesn't hurt that it is incredibly beautiful as well. From what I've seen, it seems generally that Tacoma had access to fabulous quality woods for its guitars, and it is beautifully made.

BTW, I meant to give a special thanks to Wingsdad for turning me on to Tacomas here in the first place and for giving me useful information in my search. Thanks, Wingsdad!
