The Martin Backpacker Acoustic Guitar is the ultimate travel companion for musicians who never want to leave their guitar behind. Weighing less than 2.5 pounds, this ultra-light instrument is built to go wherever life takes you—whether that's a campsite, hiking trail, or a spontaneous adventure. Its compact body slips easily into tight spaces, making it perfect for travel bags and ideal for players with smaller hands.
Despite its slim, unique shape, the Backpacker produces a surprisingly full and resonant tone. The solid Spruce top delivers crisp highs and articulate mids, while the solid Sapele back and sides add warmth and depth. It’s a small guitar with a sound that carries, offering a playing experience well beyond its size.
Built to handle the rigors of the road, the Backpacker features a durable satin finish that protects the wood and a sturdy build that stands up to bumps, temperature shifts, and changing humidity. Chrome-enclosed tuners provide reliable stability, so you can count on your guitar staying in tune wherever you go.
From spontaneous jam sessions to quiet moments by the fire, the Martin Backpacker brings authentic Martin tone and craftsmanship in a size that’s made for the journey.
