GUEST,iancarterb Travel/backpack guitars: advice needed (31) RE: Travel/backpack guitars: advice needed 12 Apr 08


I haven't seen any mention of the Tacoma Papoose. It's the size of a baby Taylor but it's an 'A' guitar - like sawing it off at the fifth fret and puting the peghead back on there. That can be a problem for particular tunings, but a fine solution to many problems. Played a Tacoma mandolin with a friend playing Tacoma Papoose for years commuting on a Seattle ferry. The cases are almost the same size, for travel reference. It comes with a lousy gig bag, but they make a hard case for it. I bought the hard case for my mandolin about fifteen minutes after returning from a coast to coast airplane trip which had included a commuter leg, NO OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT, and no choice. They were very careful with it, and it survived in my heavy duty Levy gig bag, but my heart was in my throat until they handed it to me and I opened the bag!
