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

by dougmjones Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 24 '03
Pros: Portable, affordable, name brand, comes with case, good quality
Cons: Impossible to handle and hold while playing and sitting, quiet dead tone.
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...

Martin classical backpacker great solution

by kingtang , Jul 08 '01
Pros: Nice portable classical guitar from master maker - good for lefties.
Cons: You'll want to take it everywhere.
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 an...

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

by akarin , May 21 '02
Pros: Nice sound for the size and shape
Cons: Can't be held properly for classical guitar practice
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...

The Great Little Martin Backpacker

by PoChuck , Mar 13 '02
Pros: easy to carry around, great sound for it's size
Cons: need strap to play, even while sitting
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 I...

backpackerr review

by vfr700 , Mar 26 '07

Cons: Hard to hold.
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 ...

Pros: Lightweight, compact, portable, smooth, deftly-fashioned...
Cons: Unplayable.
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, I've ...

Not a real Martin
by sbjguitars ,Nov 10 '08
Pros: easy to carry
Cons: sound sucks

hard to hold
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.
