Hello,

Thanks for writing in. Some of the Tacoma guitars will be in production in New Hartford, CT. Keep an eye on our website for all of
the latest news and information. All of the changes will probably be happening by the end of the year. I hope this will help you out.

Best Regards,

So, if you can believe Mister Krause, before Dec 31, 2008, all the changes will (probably) be done. And reading between the lines, they'll probably be making the side holes and papoose at the factory (which make tacomas special) and the rest of production goes over seas in two teirs:Former, US production of round holes and the olympia line stays overseas.
