It's been out for a few weeks now. I know a few people who have them. Street prices are under $500.

I've played one...my local shop has a couple. I thought it was nice, but I dont think it was any better than most guitars at that range. I would just stick with your Tacoma. Those are pretty decent, from what I've played.
