Tacoma Introduces "Little Jumbo"
Series
January 24, 2001Tacoma Guitars recently introduced three new models in the "Little Jumbo"
Series designed by Tacoma and famed guitarist Laurence Juber.
"The "Little Jumbo" series has been remarkably successful from
its initial introduction at NAMM just two years ago, " says Terry Atkins,
Tacoma Product Development Manager. "It was developed for the fingerstylists
who prefer a more balanced sound; the clarity of a small body with the warmth
of a jumbo. It's a modern steel string classic with a great deal of finesse."
