I have one. A friend of my dad's dought a bunch of stuff from an estate sale, and it was part of the collection. At first he called and said he got a Martin guitar and wanted to know if I'd like to take a look at it. Well, it turned out to be a Backpacker. He wound up just giving it to me in return for helping him out with some stuff.

I have it here, in the corner by the computer, and take it out once in a while to play it. Usually that doesn't last too long. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds is a chore to try to play. Still, they seem to be selling for surprisingly high prices on eBay.
