It's a Martin Backpacker Guitar --- I've been lusting after it since I first played one last fall. It's about 32" long and 6 " wide at its widest. Weighs a little over 2 pounds and plays like the real thing --- though not as loud of course. It's an ideal alternative to carrying my full-size D-18. Takes up so much less room in the van ---- isn't the magnet for knowledgeable thieves that the real thing is ----comes in a nice little gig bag for toting to the beach or in the canoe. All you guitar pickers on the list can check it out at http://www.balticcoast.com/backpacker.html . They list at 254 USD but have been going consistently at about 120 USD on e-bay as of late. And if indeed "music hath charms to sooth the savage beast" then it'll take care of those pesky critters too!! Happy Friday to all!! Doug '84 Westy Toronto, Canada |
