Tama acoustic
I Purchased a fantastic Tama TG-160 acoustic recently, solid Jacaranda and fine grain spruce top. It is such a great guitar. Does anyone else have this model? I would love to hear from anyone, I live in the UK and I've never seen this model for sale anywhere. Very lucky to have this guitar.

Someone just gave my friend a Tama D35 clone. I don't know the model number but it's a very nice guitar. I'd never heard of these before, but if you didn't look at the headstock you'd swear you were playing a Martin. I believe it might have laminated back and sides but it sounds extremely good. I think the model you have was the top of their line, so I'm sure it's a great guitar. Congratulations!

You are extremely lucky! Tama was in business for a few short years,but had the finest stash of quality woods and expert luthiers in Japan.....in the 1970's.
They eventually got taken over by Ibanez,who kept the work force for a few more years and sold similar quality instruments under the Ibanez Artwood series(not to be confused with the new Artwood guitars.

Tama Acoustic
Thanks, I feel very lucky to have this top of the line model. It took me around 100 emails to get it, then it got lost in the Swedish post!
I have played this model (TG-160) alongside my friends Martins and we can all agree that you cannot tell its not a Martin. It was the last all solid Jacaranda model made. Would be nice to hear from anyone who has any of the Tama models.

When they were released in the early-70's Tama was arguably the creme-de-la-creme of the MIJ imports - a title IMO shared with the top of the Takamine lineup - and represented a real alternative to the junk being pumped out by the "big G" and "big M" companies at the time (at 1/5 to 1/4 the price); small wonder these instruments (along with their electric counterparts) became the subject of legal action...
