The Martin Backpacker is perfect for hiking, biking or camping enthusiasts and can be used easily at the campfire or anywhere you happen to be. The sound hole does not have a rosette around it, but that does not affect the sound. The presence of the instrument is preserved nicely as a result. The natural finish is light enough to be pretty and keeps the features of the spruce top and back intact. The sides are made of what Martin calls "tonewood" and is an offsetting finish to the top for contrast. The finish is also "hand rubbed" in keeping with Martin's workmanship reputation. The Backpacker cannot be topped for playing quality. All 15 frets are clear of the joint between neck and body. Optional Thinline 332 electronics are offered as well for those times when amplification is a must. Mechanics are important, too, so here we go. Tuning keys are chrome and protrude from the sides for easy access when tuning. The bridge endpins are white with black inlays for accent. The o ffsetting colors add a nice enigma.
