What about Fender's "Tacoma" line of acoustic guitars??

[YerDugliness]

One of the "Washburn Washouts" has advised me that Tacoma guitars are of great quality, and I'm interested. I am retiring in December, after 32 years in public education, and I'm resolute in my interest to purchase a decent guitar, something I've wanted and not had, due to various circumstances.

I'd like to find out what I can about this line of guitars. I've heard Fender has quit making the ones with round sound holes, which sounds like a pretty wierd thing to do, but......

Anyone?

Thanks for whatever you can fill me in on. Purchase ETA is around the first of the year.

That Washout would be me.

EDIT: I originally replied here on 10/20, but since it was the only one in a week, I've redone that reply and moved it today to it's own topical thread about Tacoma in 'Acoustics'.
