I've been looking for a smaller size cheap guitar to take with me to conv. hospitals,and other places where superior sound not necessary. Now that summer is approaching I fear taking my Martin, and having to leave it in the car while running other errands, when temps rise above 100. Haven't been able to find a 3/4 guitar in the price range I'm looking at (under $200...I know, but that's all I can afford), tried out the Martin Backpacker but didn't like sound or feel. My semi-local music store says the Washburn Rover is well balanced and has great intonation...they're all out of them but will order me one to try if I wish. Has anybody else tried these...I think the price is around $150.
