I just looked on eBay. Very odd, because the Olympias were Chinese Tacomas made just around the time Fender bought Tacoma. They may even be pre-FMIC, not sure. And now suddenly some pop up as manufacturer refurbished. Did someone find some sitting in a warehouse? Were these really refurbished by FMIC, or are they just NOS that were bought of storage by someone else?

That's cool 8). I'm not in the market but this is a great thing for anyone who is. Bang for the buck, IMHO, there ain't nothin' that comes close.
