Anybody here play a Martin Backpacker guitar?

With the various threads about firepits, camping, hiking, and guitars, somebody on this fine forum must own one of these portable, rugged guitars. If so, how are they? I'm looking for something that I can throw in the back of the car or have around the house without fear of banging up my baby (my real guitar, not my real baby)

I do have one....it has a pretty good sound for how small it is. I would recommend it if you were leaning that way.

Would you say its more or less durable compared to other small guitars like the baby Taylor and whatnot? It looks more durable, but I haven't inspected one in person yet

I bought a $29 chinese made POS copy of this from Bianca Amour's Liquidation Superstore before I went to Europe 2 years ago.

It served me just fine!
I traded it for a soccerball from Germany before I left.

How about a Ukulele. I've been thinking of picking one up myself...pretty cheap, and a little different.
