Thread Name: Tama Guitar
Subject: RE: Tama Guitar
I bought mine in New Zealand in 1977. It had the brass "Ray Durant" plaque covering the abalone inlaid TAMA on the head. I wonder if they did that to get around some import issues or something as they were having copyright issues with Martin guitars. I paid $238.00 NZ for it and while I considered selling it as I could use the grand plus I cannot part with it. An exceptionally beautiful guitar. I have passed it on to my oldest son asking him to "keep it in the family".
