Martin Steel String Backpacker Acoustic Guitar Standard

This small guitar is made for travel. It has a 24" scale and could be tuned to standard E tuning.

It sounds pretty good for it's size, though not as full sounding as guitars with larger tops. It's sound is a little more high end and bright than deep larger bodied guitars, but it still projects surprisingly well.

The biggest drawback is that it needs to be played with a strap because it does not fit easily on your knee while sitting.
