Tacoma Papoose P1 Travel Sized Acoustic Guitar Natural - Used

Type: Used
Condition: Good

Used Tacoma Papoose P1 Travel Sized Acoustic Guitar, Natural Finish. The guitar is quite rough cosmetically.  There are several dings including on the soundboard south of the bridge and on the back corner of the headstock. Also there are several large areas where the clear coat has failed and come off, including on the siding on both sides of the inner bouts and around the headstock.  This item was meant to be a premium all solid wood travel guitar and still plays quite well with a nice tone.

The Papoose was the first guitar Tacoma ever made. It is a voiced instrument, 5 frets shorter than a standard guitar with an offset paisley sound hole and a smaller body. It is tuned A-D-G-C-E-A and essentially acts as a normal guitar with a capo on the 5th fret. The advantage of the papoose is its versatility. It has a full, bright sound without the compromises of string scale of a capoed guitar. It adds a wonderful treble quality in the studio for balancing out layered recordings, and works well as a travel instrument.
