Description

Rare used Tacoma Guitars now in stock!

Founded in 1991 as a division of a Seattle-based lumber company, the brand was loved by many musicians for its unique sound and design until the factory closed in 2008.
This instrument, the P-1 Papoose, was released in 1997 and became one of the most popular models from the brand.
This model was once a hot topic when it was used by Kotaro Oshio.

Wood materials include cedar top, mahogany back and sides, and rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
Despite being a small instrument, it has an addictive character with thick bass and crispness.

The body size is slightly smaller than a typical mini guitar, and the tuning is "A tuning," which is two and a half steps higher than regular tuning.
The unique hole position and bracing pattern create an indescribable, distinctive "Tacoma sound," which will make you want to keep playing it forever once you pick it up, and you'll become addicted.

The condition of this instrument is in good used condition with scratches all over, including a dent of several centimeters on the top edge, pick scratches around the pickguard, and some gloss on the back of the neck.
The frets are large, so there is little wear and tear, and there are no dents, so there is no need to worry about vibration.
The nut was replaced when it arrived at our store, and it is in excellent condition. The size and playability are excellent.

It is equipped with an under-saddle piezo pickup made by M-Factory, allowing you to enjoy a sound that sounds like the live sound is being carried directly over the line.
This pickup does not have the so-called "piezo effect" that can be felt with commercially available products, making it an extremely high-quality piece of equipment that faithfully reproduces the player's nuances.

It is rarely available on the market and has become a very rare instrument.
I'm sure there are many people who have been looking for this! Don't miss this opportunity to get it!
