Unboxing The Martin Backpacker Guitar: for Solo Cycling Fundraiser for The Ocean Cleanup 🚴‍♀️🌊🌎🎸

Описание: Hi all! This is day two of packing for my cycling fundraising and educational trip up the East Coast Greenway to raise funds for The Ocean Cleanup. The Martin backpacker Guitar is coming with me, and I can tell you right now that there are some great things about this instrument and some things I don’t like, but in general, I am a happy Martin guitar customer. The best thing about this is that it’s a small scale and still has six strings like a regular guitar. It packs away small and straight, and comes with it’s own case. It’s hard to get a big sound out of this though with without a pick. I would suggest installing an internal body amplifier so you can plug this in around a campfire or other small group. It’s definitely perfect for just being alone and needing a quick way to play or practice, but I do not recommend this as a starter Guitar because the difference in string tension makes it harder to finger pick chords. It is easier to strum full chords on this. It has a slight “banjo-like” sound. I would recommend the Martin D Junior acoustic electric as a starter guitar. I look forward to practicing with this on my cycling journey this Earth Day week. If you would like to support my efforts, please donate to my fundraiser for The Ocean Cleanup, below.
