Hello....this question is coming from a beginner. I just wanted to get some views on the "little martin" acoustic guitar. There are quite a few times I would like to take my guitar with me when I am on call for my job but don't like lugging it around. Soooo I was looking for something smaller and easier to take with me.
Appreciate the responses and opinions from e1. Thanks

Check out the reviews at harmony central...as far as I can remember they were not good for that guitar...(Im assuming its the backpacker guitar youre talking about)..

I also wanted to have a small guitar to travel from Portugal to Greece, so I decided to buy a ukulele... (i hope it arrives today!)

i think the little martin and the backpacker are different. i think the little martin is just a smaller scale guitar, while the backpaper is just... weird.
could be mistaken though.

Don't know why, but found that very funny!

Yes...the little martn is just a smaller scale guitar. It seems real nice and very easy to travel with.

I agree.....the backpacker is just.....weird.
sfmartins.....best of luck with your ukulele. Also, I will have to check out harmony central.
Thanks

i mean I guess I shouldn't say much about it since I haven't actually seen one in real life or played one before, but I dunno it is interesting to say the least.
