Martin
Backpacker Steel Strings
Backpacker portable acoustic guitar with steel
strings and a padded carrying bag!

Martin's
Backpacker guitars are fully playable, compact travel guitars designed
to meet the needs of musicians on the run.
With a total weight of 2.5 pounds, the Martin Backpacker guitar
is lightweight and easy to carry. Ruggedly built to withstand the
rigors of outdoor situations like camping, hiking and summer music
festivals, you really can take the Martin Backpacker guitar anywhere.
For their size, both the original steel-string Martin Backpacker
guitar and the newer nylon-string classical Martin Backpacker guitar
have surprisingly rich and loud tone. Such tone is due primarily
to the combination of a lightly braced solid soundboard with a solid
mahogany neck, back and sides. Tuning machines on both models are
the high quality chrome enclosed variety. The unique bridge on the
classical model accepts either plain end or ball end classic strings.
Each Martin Backpacker guitar comes equipped with a Martin woven
strap. The high quality nylon carrying bag, complete with red embroidered
"C.F. Martin" logo, fits neatly in the overhead compartment
onboard most airlines. Truely the best travel guitar around.
