GENERAL INFORMATION

The Tacoma guitar featured a unique bracing pattern called the Voice Support Bracing and have a unique soundhole shaped like a teardrop positioned on the bass bout for a different sound. All guitars came standard without electronics (with the exception of a few acoustic/electric models, the Papoose, and the Chief). If you wanted them, they were an option, which adds to the price shown. Finish was also an option. All guitars came standard in Natual but Black, Cherry Burst, Sunburst, Trans. Amber, Trans. Blueburst, and Trans. Cherry were all available for an upcharge. All models except for the Wing Series (Chief, Roadking, Thunderchief, and Thunderhawk) were available in left-handed configuration. There are also other options available such as inlay patterns, binding options, purfling, top options, tuner upgrades, and back and side options.
When Fender purchased Tacoma in 2004/05 they implemented their famous numbering scheme, which is XXX-XXXX-XXX. Guitars all start with 038 or 389. 038 indicates a guitar that was produced at the time of switchover. 389 indicates a guitar built under Fender's jurisdiction. Then four middle numbers indicate the production model and the last three are the finish color.
