Members asatnutz Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Brownie delivered it today... Sounded twangy with the stock strings. I replaced them with Dean Markley, ML12's... Sounds good for a new one....I'm happy with it for now. Neck and fretboard are like an electric with 6105 frets. It has a tusc nut and saddle, If i still like it in a couple of months I'll have a bone nut and saddle installed. Came in a TKL Case. I put up two pictures for you too see it. Great selling dealer by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great selling dealer by the way. Very Nice. I am 70 miles Southwest of their Brick & Mortar shop. Pretty good folks to deal with and many Tacoma Forum members have gotten great deals! I have one Tacoma Little Jumbo and have had my eye on an ER28C also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members asatnutz Posted December 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 They are awesome to deal with. I also like the guitar. If They had something else I wanted I wouldn't hesitate taking there word for my answer about a guitar. I'd buy from then again. No dealers near me sell Tacoma. I had played a dred in a Luthiers shop a week or so ago and thought it was a great guitar. Very under rated and made in the USA. I like that.

Members asatnutz Posted December 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice heard! How good is that little guy? I want a Parlor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members asatnutz Posted December 10, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Very nice! Happy NGD! How do you feel about its' tone/sound? I've never played a Tacoma. The tone was twangy like I had said. I did the string change and that made the difference for me. Feel is very nice and the action is soft. I tune down all my acoustics a half step by the way. Its really a nice guitar... Don't hesitate. The dealer I bought from has a return policy. I'm keeping mine, I like it, it ball'sy Which body do you want?

Members bigmo66 Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice heard! How good is that little guy? I want a Parlor. The Tacoma Parlor is indeed a "special" guitar. It is more like a 000 than say a Larrivee parlor in size. Think Gibson "Nick Lucas". It has the depth of a dreadnought, standard scale and a wallup that surprises anyone who plays them! My 1997 PM20 thumps my chest when I play it and always makes me smile. If you could get a PM28 to go with the ER28 cousin, you'd be smilin' too.

Members DeepEnd Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 Brownie delivered it today... Sounded twangy with the stock strings. I replaced them with Dean Markley, ML12's... Congratulations on the new Tacoma. Where'd you get it? Unlike bigmo66, I have no idea. Do you have any idea what the stock strings were? "Twangy" usually implies a light string but not always. I had some Ernie Ball 80/20's a while back that were--I guess you'd say--a bit twangy but PB's in the same gauge sounded fine. Martin 80/20's in a slightly heavier gauge sound fine as well.

Members Brokepick Posted December 10, 2008 Members Share Posted December 10, 2008 On sale for $1055. You should have paid list price for it. Wouldn't want to pay too little and wind up with a shitbox. That is, if you actually bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should've bought the dealership if they're better than the guitar. Nice instrument, whoever has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
