Martin Backpacker Travel

Martin Backpacker or the Washburn Rover, which travel guitar is better? ?

The Backpacker isn’t all that much cheaper than the Rover, but the Rover looks like an ancient and cheesy lute.

My Washburn Rover is in the mail! I tried the Martin Backpacker and it just looked and felt cheaply made. Plus it was really uncomfortable (even with the strap!). I opted for the Rover because it’s shaped more like a guitar, more color options, and it got better reviews on Amazon and Musicians Friend.

Good luck!

Martin Backpacker Steel String $309 Martin Backpacker Steel String For their size, Martin Backpacker guitars have a surprisingly rich and loud tone, due primarily to the combination of a lightly braced solid tonewood top with a solid mahogany neck, back and sides. Light as a feather, this is a guitar that you can take with you literally anywhere without getting weighed down, plus it takes up almost no room when slipped into its nylon carrying case (included) or strapped around your shoulders. Despite its lightweight character, the Martin Backpacker is ruggedly built to withstand the rigors of outdoor situations like camping, hiking and summer music festivals — the ideal travel companion!
