From a small guitar shop to a worldwide brand
From a small guitar shop to a worldwide brand
Modern-day Tagima was born in 1996 when Marutec Music, a very successful Brazilian musical equipment and electronics import company, acquired the Tagima rights and trademark. Tagima was already a highly respected brand in Brazil, with a strong following in the musical artist community. Marutec Music committed itself to building the Tagima brand with an extensive new factory, producing an expanded product line to meet the growing market demands.
Soon after the new Tagima company started to attend and exhibit at major international trade shows such as MusikMesse Frankfurt (Germany) and the NAMM Show in Los Angeles. Tagima was now well on its way to becoming a rapidly growing international brand.
Tagima is the largest guitar brand in Brazil and a leading force in South and Latin America, with International distributors worldwide. In 2016 Tagima opened its Huntington Beach, California offices to continue its growth in the American guitar marketplace. Tagima guitar's design and production are under the guidance of Márcio Zaganin, Brazil’s greatest luthier and one of the best luthiers in the world. At Tagima we are committed to designing the finest quality and most exquisite hand-crafted guitars empowering musicians worldwide to create, express, and perform.
