Wherever you roam, the Martin Backpacker is ready to go. Its ultra-portable, lightweight design has made it a favorite for adventurers, campers, and even astronauts—it was the first guitar ever played in space. With a solid spruce top and durable tonewoods, it delivers clear, bright tone whether you're by the fire or floating in zero gravity. The unique body shape slips easily into overhead compartments, backpacks, or tight storage spots, and the included soft gig bag makes travel a breeze. With a 24" scale length, chrome enclosed gear tuners, and sustainable wood certified parts, it’s small in size but big on sound—and spirit. From mountain peaks to outer space, this guitar proves that music really can go anywhere.
