Up for sale is a rare, discontinued Martin Backpacker Mandolin. Produced by C.F. Martin & Co. for only a brief window between roughly 1997 and 2006, this is a highly collectible and incredibly durable travel companion that is no longer in production.

If you are looking for an instrument you can easily toss in a backpack, take camping, or bring on a plane without worrying about temperature or fragile acoustic bodies, this is the ultimate choice. Because it retains a standard mandolin scale length, it transitions perfectly from your main instrument without changing your finger muscle memory.
