Tacoma Guitars had been a subsidiary of Young Chang America Timber, but now operates independently with a holding company. “One of the nation’s premier guitar manufacturers, Tacoma Guitars, has undergone a change in ownership and has introduced nine new instrument models as they continue to battle for position as the third largest acoustic guitar manufacturer in America.The company, known for its distinctive paisley soundhole, and also for being the largest mandolin manufacturer in the nation, has continued to introduce new finish options on an expanded product line now reaching over 50 different models and finishes, according to John Hawkins, marketing director.The ownership change that took place early this year is just a financial understanding, Hawkins said, amounting to a management buyout.
