Martin Backpacker traveller size solid top acoustic guitar.
Made in mexico.
Given the number of BPs Martin have produced in the first years this should be from 1997 or 1998.
Old model, constructed with small sound hole, small square headstock, neck&sides are carved out of one piece of mahogany. Solid top.

The guitar is not loud of course because of its size and 24inch scale, but considering its solid top, it has nice chimey tone and lots of overtones ringing from its trembling body&neck. Boxy but overall a joy to play.Please watch our Youtube video for this small guitar!

lots of scracthes and wear coming from years of use. One hairline crack at back ( wont give you headaches if you are not going to keep this guitar in extremely dry places for long time)
Also has some wear, little dings ans a couple of very small hairline cracks/ waethering on the matte finish on top. Not serious issues really.
Other than that, neck is straight, intonates very good, frets are %80 ,original tuning machines OK, bridge is OK.no issues!

Strung with SIT extra light acoustic guitar strings set 10-48

Comes with its original Gigbag, made by TKL.


Will be very well packed in carboard box.
