With the shorter scale length it's easier to play because of it's lower string tension and smaller size. It's great for kids too! Peter

I've wondered how well they sound and how easy they are to play?</blockquote> I own a Baby Taylor and I love it. The sound is pretty nice but it definitely has a higher tone than a full-sized acoustic that might not appeal to everyone. It works great when I want to play with another acoustic guitar player because it really compliments the sound with a nice tenor guitar tone. It plays like a dream (after I worked on it) and I modified it with a B-Band pickup which makes it sound incredible when plugged in. Also the shorter scale length makes the string tension lighter than a full-sized guitar. The Tacoma Papoose is a different type of guitar. It's meant to act like a normal size guitar with a capo at the 5th fret. So you're tuning to A. It's a nice instrument but I didn't like the different tuning. Peter

It's really quite easy. You have to remember that this is a travel guitar. It's for someone that wants a light weight full size guitar that will fit in an aircraft overhead compartment. I wouldn't really make the S-250 my main guitar... but for traveling, it's very nice. lawabb: Mine doesn't have any strap pegs, but I believe the folks at Miranda can add them if requested (I can't find the option on their site right now, but I know I saw it somewhere).
