I find myself in a position where I am being offered a Tacoma dread for practically nothing (inside sale from a guy at work), and just want the standard ego stroke and validation before I hand over the cash.
This seems to be one of those "under-the-radar" makers, but for a 100% all-solid wood build, with spruce top / 'hog B&S that was made in the USA, I have to say I'm wondering why there isn't more talk about them.
Best of all, this is a pre-Fender model, built in '02. No cracks or damage beyond a couple of dings and buckle marks on the back.
Anyone have any firsthand experience with them? I played it a bit (well, as much as I can actually play six strings), and am impressed. He allowed me to compare it side-by-side with a Martin dread and the Tacoma more than held it's own.
Thoughts or encouragement or warnings?
