The sound of an unplugged electric and feel of a broomstick !

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great product and idea but I would rather suffer and carry a slightly larger guitar with a regular body.
Review: I have mixed emotions about this one. There are some excellent reviews and I don't disagree but I would not buy one due to the difficulty holding it.

If you plan to backpack into the wilderness I can understand why this guitar is so...

The Great Little Martin Backpacker

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a great guitar for travelers, especially for playing for yourself or small groups.
Review: In late 1992, Musician Magazine's section on new toys featured a review of the Backpacker. The reviewer seemed pretty impressed. The listed price was $215 for the acoustic model. I didn't really need another guitar, but Christmas was coming up, and...

Martin classical backpacker great solution

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you travel regularly and you think "wish I had my guitar," then you should pick up a Martin Backpacker.
Review: For those who have more than one guitar, the Martin Backpacker, classical, is a great addition to your collection. The price listed at e-opinions is higher than what I paid - under $200.

The great thing about this guitar is that it fits in...

backpackerr review

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good portable, travel guitar.
Review: Please remember that this is a 200 dollar travel guitar. It is designed to be relatively inexpensive and portable. I think it does this job nicely. I seem to take it with me everywhere. It is real easy to throw in the back of the vehicles when I...

Excellent craftmanship, nice sound for its shape/size, NOT for classical guitar practicing

Date of Review:  May 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Excellent craftmanship. Reasonable sound for its size. Don't expect to use it for practising classical guitar. Works well for strumming and some fingering.
Review: I was looking for a classical guitar that I can easily take with me for practice and recreation on trips. When I got it, I was quite satisfied with the sound, mind you that I didn't expect much.

What's remarkable about the guitar is the...

Not a real Martin

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2008
Review: More like a broomstick with strings.  only good for carring around.  the sound is terribble.  By a Baby Taylor instead. it's easy to carry around and still sounds good.

Slip-slidin' Away

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy a playable backpacker instead.
Review: I tried everything in my power to content myself with this lightweight, ostensibly convenient backpacker guitar. However, after twisting and gyrating myself into all range of awkward positions in an effort to comfortably play this frigging thing,...
