Tacoma Papoose Plan?

[Andy Fekete]

Is there any place to get a set of plans or drawings for the Tacoma Papoose guitar? This guitar has been out of production for a while, and used ones are pretty tough to find, so I was thinking of building a clone.

I really can't help you locate a plan, but I have always loved Tacoma's instruments. Particularly their Thunder Chief Acoustic Bass, and their wing series guitars. It's a shame that they were discontinued after Fender bought them out. They really made some fine instruments.

There is a a tacoma based plan on the Liutaio Mottola website. Not a papoose, but it might get you on the right track.

Lots of other interresting stuff there as well.
