Tacoma JM16

Excellent tone with great bottom end. Very loud for an acoustic, works well in outdoor situations. Larger fret board works for some players. Also this guitar always ends up sounding great in studio recordings. I've had it reworked twice because I can't find another guitar that competes with it. Frets last along time. Other musicians I respect have made offers on it, but I won't part with it. Bottom line is that this is a great guitar for the price, if you can still find one.

Overall this is my favorite acoustic. I've played many, and I've heard people bad mouth Tacoma, but I think their overall work is pretty good. I've only played one JM16, so I don't know the consistency of this model. If you like a larger guitar, and love loud, full, and bassy bottom end, and want a guitar that excels in several applications check out the JM16!

Plain Jane looking Jumbo made of all solid woods. Spruce top and mahogany back and sides.

Well worth the money because it compares to Larrivees and Taylors selling for about twice as much. Paid 750$ used for mine (2001 model).
