: hey man, i have a tanara p-bass and i feel ya
I just recently saw and played 2 Tanara guits. Upon asking, the owner of one of them -- who is a real pro, so I'll take her at her word here -- told me that Tanara is a subsidiary of the Ibanez corporation but (unlike, say, Squier/Fender) they aren't generic Ibanezes made cheaply but a small guitar manufacturer that Ib subsidizes -- maybe a tax write off? -- and that they're damned fine inexpensive instruments. Possibly the best for the low price. Judging by her Tanara acc/elec cutaway model and her neighbor's dreadnaught (I jammed with them and played both), she may be right. Look for the price to go up as more people discover 'em. Grab 'em up while they're cheap.
Tanara Website now up!
I was just on the Tanara Website. I will try to call them tomorrow. Wish me luck!
I bought a Tanara with a chipboard case for $25 yesterday. I love this guitar. It was missing parts, so I bought a $4 saddle with spring and screw, and replaced the missing string, and it sounds great!

Re: Tanara Website now up!
I called Tanara today, here's the scoop on their connection to Ibanez. Chesbro distributes both Tanara and Ibanez, but they aren't owned by Ibanez. You can't actually ever get to talk to Tanara. Chesbro is their distributor. They don't sell parts, because the guitars are assembled from standard pieces and too inexpensive for them to stock parts for. They couldn't give me any information at all about my guitar either. Chesbro is a sucky distribution company, but I love my Tanara guitar.

I paid $150 for mine. Well worth that price.
Re: TANARA GUITARS

Re: TANARA GUITARS
My LP Tanara is AMAZING. It plays extremely well. I don't know where it came from originally, but it seems like a dealer's model, before setup. Anyway, after a setup it is a dream to play.
Re: TANARA GUITARS
I just bought my daughter a Tanara guitar at a second hand shop, can anyone tell me what its worth or anything about it? Its a 1986 S101S acoustic.
