Information: 

Olympia was Tacoma guitars' import brand name. Olympia guitars, basses, and mandolins were designed in the USA by a Tacoma Guitars team of luthiers lead by Terry Atkins. These Olympia models were made in Indonesia or China but set-up, inspected, and shipped directly from the factory in Tacoma, Washington.The brand appeared around 2002 and seems to have been discontinued by 2006. Olympia guitars came in a number of body styles, Parlor to Dreadnought, Classical to Cutaway, ranging from thinline to the carved Archtop with a solid Spruce top, to the Mahogany Dreadnought with multi-binding and herringbone rosette. Also included a mahogany bass with unique paisley sound hole and a solid Maple F style mandolin with solid wood construction.
