It's not an Ovation.
It's not a "little" guitar.

It's an "A" scale Cedar top, Mahogany bodied instrument with mandolin like qualities but guitar player friendly.

It will kick butt on a Uke!

The guy says he wants to buy a 12 string Papoose next.
THAT sounds really cool! Anyone here ever played one?

Uh, John... fishgiven is Woody...
Yep, a bunch of us played it last Saturday at the OFCNW. The A tuning takes a little getting used to, but it's probably one of the (if not the) best traveler guitars out there.

And yes, the Ute was wimpering in the corner like a little boy who just met the playground bully when Mike finished playing the Papoose.

It is, it was, I am and I said Uke...

Special deal for and OFC Member!

The 12 is a kick. Finding one with a pick up is tough though.

So for $100 you put something in it. We're going on vacation first week in Sept. and I'm having a hard time not buying one RIGHT NOW to take with. I know threr'll be hell to pay...just wondering if our marriage will survive it. John <>{

I think it would be easier to change the electronics on a Storm series than to retrofit an undersaddle on a Papoose.

Granted, there are some people that "enjoy" building ships in bottles.

The Papoose in case fits well in the luggage compartment or could make a nice head rest in the Dog House...
