What our customer's say!

"Cheap", Whaddawant for a $30 guitar? Somewhat disappointed when I received the sunburst model, since I had ordered "Natural". Aside from that, the intonation sucks. Only somewhat satisfying as a slide, where intonation is up to you the consumer.

"I like my travel guitar", The travel guitar only cost $29, not much money. I tuned it up like my
dulcimer, using DAA tuning two strings for each note. The travel guitar has more volume than my mountain dulcimer and you don't have to keep figuring out what you are going to do about some of the half steps, (sharps, flats), because they are right there.Combining the bass string notes with the melody string notes you have a huge range. (My only experience is on the mountain dulcimer)
I used my digital tuner to check the notes and each fret is a half step.
Maybe it didn't cost much, but for the places we go (senior centers, fairs and rest homes) this shold be great, and the price is right. This instrument should be a lot of fun.

"Backpacker Clone...", This is not a dulcimer. This is obviously a cheap knockoff of the Martin Backpacker. That said, it is still a fun little knockaround guitar. Once you figure out the floating bridge and exactly how to tune the thing (which is not entirely futile), you can get some good sound from it. It is not solid wood in any way shape or form, except possibly the neck, but that has no impact on tone, really.

This is just a cheap piece of garbage, but it IS FUN TO PLAY! SERIOUSLY! If you are away from home and do not want to take your good guitar out with you, just take this little thing. If you fall on it and totally tear it to bits, what's the loss?

Then again, if you're getting this little backpacker clone from this guy, you're paying way too much. You should pay about $1.00 or LESS for the guitar.

I would advise getting on ebay and looking up "Backpacker" as you can get this exact same guitar for $1.00. Yes...Just one dollar. I was extremely surprised to see this on here for $30. That's how much mine cost in total with the gig-bag, strings, picks, tuner, and shipping and handeling and insurance. If you get this from this guy on Amazon, you are getting screwed. If you purchased this already, you should go get the lube, my friend.

I give this 4 stars because you get what you pay for, and nothing more. If all else fails, you've gotten yourself a decent gig-bag for your future Martin Backpacker. Personally, I got it while I wait for my wife to let me have my real guitar for Christmas.
