Martin Backpacker guitar, very light and small, perfect for travels,  
with bag and shoulder straps, nylon string. Value, $309.

With a total weight of 2.5 pounds, the 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 one anywhere. For it's size,

the newer nylon-string classical Backpacker has a 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 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.
