Rare Tacoma Papoose Travel Size Acoustic Guitar with Gigbag

A used Tacoma Papoose acoustic guitar in excellent condition with a Taylor deluxe gigbag. This is a sweet travel-sized instrument that plays great and sounds incredible. Tacoma guitars was originally a manufacturer based in Tacoma, Washington. The business closed down in 2008, making this little guitar a rare find indeed. The P1 Papoose—designed by Terry Atkins and George Gruhn—was Tacoma’s first guitar model. It has a relatively short 19.1″ scale and is tuned to the same intervals as standard guitar tuning, but a fourth higher, to A rather than the conventional E, making it equivalent to a conventional guitar with a capo on the fifth fret. It introduced the paisley sound hole and the Voiced Bracing Support system. An ultra-portable guitar with a great sound, this a deal you don’t want to miss.

Checked by our in-house technician, the Papoose has light playwear and light fretwear. There is some light scratching evident on the front of body. Please see ALL photos to view cosmetic condition.
