Customer Questions & Answers

  • Question : What is the unique shape of the guitar?
    Answer : The guitar has a unique contour shape that allows it to fit into small places, making it ideal for travel.
  • Question : What is the scale length of the guitar?
    Answer : The guitar features a 24-inch scale length and 15 frets.
  • Question : Does the guitar come with a carry bag?
    Answer : Yes, the guitar comes with a padded carry bag for easy portability.
  • Question : Any tips on how to fly with this?
    Answer : Consult with the airlines if they charge extra for a musical instrument. Inform them about the measurements of the bag/guitar and tell them that it can fit in the overhead. Place the guitar on top of people's bags in a nearly full overhead bin to protect it from damage. Stuff clothes in there to protect it too.
  • Question : Does the guitar come with a strap and case?
    Answer : The guitar does not come with a strap, but a padded carrying bag is included.
  • Question : How much does actually it weigh?
    Answer : It weighs 1.075 kgs (2.4 lbs) with its strap and a straight pick.
  • Question : Can someone recommend a hard case for this?
    Answer : There isn't a hard case available for it. The included soft case works well.
  • Question : How long will this guitar last? Is it durable? Easy to tune and beginner-friendly?
    Answer : It is not beginner-friendly due to the thin body and heavier neck that make proper posture difficult. The guitar is not more durable or sturdy than any other wooden guitar. The body is delicate, as shown by cracks and damages even with a padded case. Treat it like any other instrument and it will last.
  • Question : Can you get the martin backpacker with a built-in pickup?
    Answer : It is unlikely that there is a Martin Backpacker with a built-in pickup. It already has a bright sound but you can add a Tonewood Amp.
  • Question : Does this still come with a case?
    Answer : Yes, it comes with a padded carrying bag.
  • Question : Is the travel bag waterproof?
    Answer : The bag is water-resistant for short trips from home to car but not for hiking or biking in the rain. The standard zipper would not keep water out.

MARTIN Steel-String Acoustics Editorial Review

The Martin Steel String Backpacker Travel Guitar with Bag is a unique guitar that has a thin and compact design. It is a great choice for those who want to easily carry their guitar while travelling. With its padded carrying bag, it’s a convenient and easy-to-carry option. However, it is not beginner friendly because of its thin body and heavy neck that make it difficult to play. The sound quality is good but not as bassy as a regular guitar. The shape is also unusual, so it takes a while to get used to, and playing with a strap is recommended. It is not durable as it is prone to cracking and breaking, so it needs to be treated with care. Nevertheless, it has a bright and clear sound, and it’s fun to play.

Pros

  • Compact and easy to carry
  • Good sound quality
  • Unique design
  • Padded carrying bag included

Cons

  • Not beginner friendly
  • Not durable
  • Unusual shape makes it a little awkward to play while seated
  • Doesn’t have the full bass sound of a regular acoustic
