1997 Tacoma DM-10 – £849

NEW ARRIVAL  Here is a great chance to buy an all solid, handmade American guitar for under £1000. Tacoma are still quite unknown in Europe, but are held in high regard by many acoustic players. This guitar has a Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides, all in a satin finish, giving it a bright, resonant sound, ideal for both strumming and fingerpicking. Plus the curve of the bridge and headstock re quite distinctive looking. The reason for the price is purely cosmetic, the guitar has patches of discolouration, mainly on the sides around the binding, plus a few small patches on the back, and a couple on the top edges. None of this affects the tone or playability of the guitar. So if you’re after great tone, and can see past the looks, it’s a bit of a bargain.
