Usually one would associate light weight with a poor quality instrument but when you play the Thunderchief, the pieces in the puzzle fall into place.Įverything about this ABG resinates acoustic projection. It is feather light compared to any acoustic instrument I have ever pick up, so much so that it feels fragile, like balsa wood but a much more dense version. One of the most staggering surprises of the Thunderchief is it’s weight. The body could be described as jumbo size, however I don’t believe that it is any larger than my ‘Epiphone’ ABG but it is about 1 to 2 inches deeper. Yet again, this compliments all the ‘earthy’ visual themes of this bass. The Tacoma logo is burnt into the headstock with a hot iron brand and on the back of the head, the same raw technique is used to label the words ‘Made In USA’. The headstock can only be described as perfectly sized in relation to the size of the body and is also a very organic shape. It is truly a lovely, natural looking acoustic bass guitar. The elegant asymmetrically shaped bridge is curved rather than flat and has no sharp edges, which is designed this way to improve the transmission of the vibrations from the bridge along the body top and improve the response of each string. My Thunderchief is the most common natural version with it’s blonde solid spruce top and tanned Mahogany sides, back & neck. First Impressions of The Tacoma ThunderchiefĬontrary to a few opinions I’ve read by reviewers of the Tacoma Thunderchief Acoustic Bass Guitar, who claimed that the ‘paisley shaped’ sound hole on the left side of the upper bout was not aesthetically pleasing, some even labeled it “weird looking”, (not the conventional oval shaped sound hole that’s normally located in the center of acoustic guitars), my view is that overall the instrument looks extremely attractive if not outstanding.
