Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Tacoma dealer

This "unplugged" thing wasn't any big news to you. You've been slinging an acoustic axe for years. Or maybe you're a hotshot electric player who needs something organic for a change. It doesn't matter. You want tone, playability, workmanship, and distinctiveness. We could steer you in a bunch of different directions for each of those qualities. But to hit the home run and cover all of those bases, you've got to talk Tacoma.

As for the C1C Chief, Tacoma has put years and brains into a bracing system that, when combined with the unique bridge, gives you remarkable bass and treble response and awesome sustain. The C1C Chief responds to every playing nuance from the merest brush to a windmill strum with a powerful, distinctive tone. The satin-finished, solid Mahogany back, Mahogany sides, and solid Cedar top add to the vibrant feel. Easy access to the Rosewood fingerboard is provided by the single cutaway design. Gotoh tuners keep the strings in harmony, and the Graphtech nut and saddle help to keep those strings from breaking. Like we said, it's a pro's dream.

And you won't look like every other player, either. The C1C Chief has a distinctive, curvy soundhole that is located on the upper bout of the guitar top. The Tacoma engineers found that that is the perfect place for it. We just think that it looks cool. So will you.

High-end instruments cost a little bit more, but the reward comes every time you strap the axe on. The true measure of value is when the amount of pleasure you receive from an item makes you forget the amount you paid for it. We think the C1C Chief fits that bill admirably.

Read all 8 Tacoma C1C Chief Acoustic Guitar, Cutaway with Hardshell Case (Natural Satin) Reviews

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The sophisticated mouse that roars."

Sound: Unique incredibly balanced tone. Can make a lot of noise for such a small guitar and yet is happy being played delicately. Feature: This is a pretty bare-bones acoustic guitar. The tuners are precise and stay put. My only concern is that the transparent pick-guard may not be strong enough. Quality: By going for a no-frills design, Tacoma has been able to concentrate on essentials. This is a first class instrument. Value: Outstanding guitar at an outstanding price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had any experience of warranty service (and don't expect to) but Tacoma has been very helpful in general at answering technical questions on their web-site. The Wow Factor: This is an exceedingly handsome guitar. Overall: I love this guitar and if it ever dies on me (unlikely I'll probably die on it before that happens) I'd get another immediately.
