I grabbed the remnants of a smashed Tacoma Paoose. This is an "A" scale guitar that plays loike a guitar and sounds more like a Mandolin. Sitka Spruce for the top and an Artec Pick up and Preamp are the main differences. Soundhole is rather Ovationesque though... I still think Ovation needs to make an "A" scale.

That should be interesting when you get it done. Are you going to stain the top or leave it light?

We'll see.

They are lots of fun and an instrument in their own right. I bet it'll sound great.
