I got a tacoma jm-9 I love it! the depth and volume
is phenomenal.It has a BIG...BIG sound, and is airy and mellow.
It is great for fingerpicking-esp in drop d.
I paid 900 dollars for it,
and it sounds better than guitars retailing for twice that amount. imho.

(I also have a taylor 855 twelve string which i turned into a six string
It sounds NO better"than my Tacoma jm9
(-cant say much for the tacoma dreadnaught however)

I hear tacoma went out of business. They were bought by fender,
'who discontinued the tacoma guitars. :((
