Tagima TG 630

Mine it's a brand new one (2001),strat-style tagima, made in Brazil (S?o Paulo), it has 22 frets and vintage strat configuration except for the sealed tuners. The truss-rod nut looks like fender 70's bullet nut.The wide fender headstock has 70's style too. The body has rounder edges than original strats. It has brass nut(like malmsteen signature model). My guitar is vintage white with tortoise 3ply pickguard. The body is made of Marupa and the neck is made of Pau-Marfim with Jacaranda on the fretboard(all of them are brazillian woods).

It sounds good despite the cheap pick-ups. It has almost the same sharp sound an feel of an original strat.The 5 way swith and the volume-tone-tone control works just like a strat (good variety).

The frets were not finished perfectly so I'couldnt set the action as low as wanted, but that was simple to fix up. The neck pocket on the body has been cut a bit wider than the neck wich creates a small slot. The neck finish was peeling off on the edge of the fretboard and a dot inlay on the side was missing.

It's a good guitar wainting for some upgrades....

--------

It's a strat with brazilian woods, with marfim in the neck and fingerboard and marupa in the body. Mine was made in Corea, I think.
Has 22 frets and tradicional strat configuration (S-S-S pickups, two tone and one volume controls). I didn't like the sound of the pickups, i think the're cheapest ones...
The bridge is very beautiful, but when using it the right tune goes away from miles... the tuners are good and easy to tune on.
The neck is the best i've ever played, so fast and nice to play.
It came with a bar and some adjustment tools.
I will not give it a ten because the bad pickups and the instability of the bridge when using the bar.

The sound is not as good as the construction. The pickups are noisy (like commmon single coils) and sounds bad to my ears. The high frequencies are so loud and really doesn't sound good with common overdrive settings.
But the variety is big. Yoy can have many types of sound switching the pickups and rotating the tone controls.
I'm thinking to change the pickups with seymour duncan or dimarzio ones. then this guitar will be perfect!

It cames from the store very nice to play, and i didn't need do make any adjust. The action is very, very good. Very fast, soft and nice to play.
The finish is good too, with a beautiful paited dark blue, but some colors avaliable to this guitar looks so ugly.

no need yet.

Very nice guitar but cames with bad pickups.

Basically a nice Strat copy made out of brazilian woods, pau marfim for the neck, marupa for body. Made in Brazil, although the components were imported from Korea mostly. Mine is brand new, 2000, and I have another one made in '89, Tele style.
It's got 22 small frets, one piece neck construction. 3ply pickguard, standard Strat bridge, vintage style tuners, 5way pickup selector and WSC Korea pickups.

I bought it to save my all original '74 Strat from hard outside gigs I've been doing by now, 'cause I was looking for a new and easily replaceable guitar, in a case of accidentaly wrecking it. I use a 100w EL34 tube amp that I made 5 yars ago, or a Peavey Bandit Transtube, and a string of Boss pedals plus a Crybaby. I ended fell in love for a so simple and no frills guitar at a low cost. It's surprising how it sounds good despite of cheap hardware and pickups. It's a good choice for a upgrading instrument.
It puts out more guts and midrange punch than my '74, even with its cheap pickups. I will put a set of texas special as soon as possible. It behaves just like a good Strat, mostly of cases.

It's came out of factory with .009s and adjusted for them, so I had to set up it for tens thet I use. For the rest, it's OK, no flaws or anything.

I play it outside in a rainy winter night at a small mountain town. Great!!! It plays like nothing was happening, except for some real light detuning. Made to last a lifetime, I bet.

Real cost-effective guitar. Prefect for stuck high quality hardware in it. Made of real brazilian good quality hardwood.
