Re: Tama Guitar?

I just purchased a similar model for $375.00. I watch them closely and they start around $300-$500 for a six string, and a twelve can go as high as $600+. I worked for Tama/Ibanez when they made these guitars and have watched for them since. Do you still have it?

Sorry for the previous follow up. I've got a Tama 6-string acoustic model 3558 s/n 6055814. It was given as a present but I don't know it's value. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I have a TAMA Model 3561. My old man got it for me so I have no idea of it's worth, but it has to be one of the nicest I have played, but no one has heard of it. Are they still made?

Thanks,

Peter

I also own a Tama and was just wondering what it was worth and found this site. I saw an old guitar on The Antique show on Tv and it was a guitar that had the same ebony, rose wood as Tama it was 25,ooo. I paid 650.00m for mine in the 70's actually I painted the music store owners house for it. I would n't sell it for a thousand..Its got alot of quality..

Re: Tama Guitar?

I bought my Tama in 1972 and would never trade it for a martin or guild... it is one of the best guitars I have ever owned.

Re: Tama Guitar?

I have a Tama TW-010 That I bought about 20 years ago Beautiful sound and action. I think it is walnut, quite dark. Can any one give me an idea as to its value, it is in beautiful shape.

Re: Tama Guitar?

i have also a tama model guitar 7o's i believe 3651 : 74020422

Re: Tama Guitar?

They arent worth much. A few hundred bucks. Some are good some are bad. WHen you find one on Ebay its probably a bad one. Thing is a guitar from the 70's will today need a neck reset. That repair will cost more then you can fetch for these guitars sale. THere is a mystique about the Japanese knock off guitars like Yamaki, Tama, Takamine but the reality is that many of them had problems. They were after all knock offs of Martin and Gibson. The knockoffs were a learning process so buying one is always a gamble. They used good woods but chances are they need work. Therefore the value really isnt much.

Re: Tama Guitar?

I have one that is from 1977 or 78. I bought it from a fellow who was a field rep for Tama/Ibanez who had bought it new and had not played it. I have played it little - it looks like a brand new guitar. Not a flyspeck on it. It has basically lain in its case now for over 25 years. I play it once in a while, and it sings like an angel - and the wood work on it makes the best other guitars I have seen look like they were knocked together by teenager. I have a Takamine F-340, a lovely ax, and the Tama is orders of magnitude ahead in workmanship.

Re: Tama Guitar?

: I have a TAMA 3566 I bought about 1988, I don't recall how much I paid - probably about $175. It is very well made, and sounds very nice when played by somebody who knows what they are doing! Other than a tiny "buzz" on one fret with one string, and a fair amount of scratch wear and tear, it is in good playing shape. I was just pondering selling it along with a Sigma guitar and an old banjo to finance a nice banjo.
