Martin Backpacker
Built for portable durability . . . and great sound!
Don't let its diminutive size fool you. 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. Includes high-quality chrome-enclosed tuners. A unique bridge on the nylon-string version accepts either plain or ball-end classic strings. Weighs less than 2-1/2 lbs. Includes a Martin woven strap and gig bag ($29 value), and carries a 1-year limited warranty.

Solid top
Mahogany neck, back, and sides
