I think that Tacoma's are FANTASTIC guitars, especially for the price. You can pick them up used at very reasonable prices on E-bay, Craigs-List etc.
They did however have hit & miss cosmetic finish lifting issues. If sound is what you are after, they are great and again,not all have the finish issues.
I have the Papoose and the C2C rosewood Chief, both with absolutely no finish issues whatsoever.
For more info on Tacoma's, I suggest this site. Good people & the founder, Mo, is
very generous with his knowledge and history of the brand.
