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!

THAT sounds really cool! Anyone here ever played one? |

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. |

Special deal for and OFC Member!
The 12 is a kick. Finding one with a pick up is tough though. |

Location: Upper Left USA | 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... |
