From the House of Musical Traditions website: (House of Musical Traditions ) :
On April 2, 2009 we received news that Fender (the parent company of Tacoma) is dropping Tacoma guitars entirely from its product line. Word had been that they were moving Tacoma production into the Connecticut Guild factory, but this is no longer the case. We have not received word as to whether Tacomas will be manufactured under any other company -- it appears they are being completely phased out.
Found this doing a search and found a Tacoma forum

I just called my nephew and talked to him and
my nephew is aware that Tacoma was Fender bought and is going out of business and that is why he is buying one he feels he can get a Sweet Deal.
