Don't be fooled by the diminutive size of the Martin Backpacker Acoustic-Electric Guitar. A braced, solid tonewood top with a solid mahogany neck, back, and sides gives this cool little guitar a surprisingly rich and loud tone. Built to withstand the rigors of camping, hiking, and off-road traveling. Built-in electronics let you plug into the strap holder/jack and rock out when you reach the end of the trail.

  • Solid top
  • Mahogany neck, back, and sides
  • Enclosed chrome tuners
  • Lightweight, small size
  • 24" scale length
  • 15 frets
  • Martin Thinline 332 pickup

Good idea, terrible guitar.

I first saw this guitar when a guy was getting it repaired. A few weeks ago I got the chance to play one. First, this isn't a guitar to sit down with, standing is your only option. Bad, but not as bad as the quality. The neck felt terrible and was hard to play on, the action was very high, and the sound was terrible due to smaller sound hole and less wood. Nice try, but try again.

I intended to order the steel string version, but got this one by mistake. My brother loved it so much I just ordered the steel version for myself. First time use it with the strap. it's a new trip just to hold on to it. It's got amazing sound, plug it in.

Oh... I bought the steel for me... I love that too.
