This device really works well! It fit perfectly and really makes playing the backpacker much more fun. I am not sure but I think it adds a bit to the sound as well. Well worth the money. Very easy to order even in the US. A real gentleman to deal with!

Great idea (ClipRest) and wonderful playing. The backpackers sound great for what they are, a thin backpacking travel guitar!

[@DamianSix66]

Great invention , great jamming too .

[@sleepy4x]

This guitar is not for gigs or for the studio. It is a travel guitar, easy to take with you. That is the job and it does it great. The bad sound comments are not very smart, to say it nice. It is the same as if I would say: a gibson jumbo is crap as a travel guitar.

You my friend sure can strum a guitar.

Hi pragmaticus,it looks like spruce to me, they were a new set of martin extra lights,I've lowered the action,and I was playing in a brick studio, so there's quite some echo. De-tuned to the chord of D. The serial no. is 184,696 I love it, especially with the cliprest. regards Darrell

[@gunpowderboardgames]

That's brilliant! Where can i buy one?

[@qt247ha]

@pragmaticus123 maybe it's because he is in a room of high resonance, brick walls helps alot!

[@lunarpulsar3340]

You say you make and sell them. But where? I need one.

[@MartinWhittakerClip]

I can't pass on a link through you tube for some reason. Just Google cliprest and you'll get to the web page, Thanks DW

[@agga924]

does it fit the original martin backpacker?

[@carloscruz4796]

How can I order a clop-rest?

[@MartinWhittakerClip]

if you go to the web site, and then to the purchase page, the shape on the right with grey lines across the image is the shape it does'nt fit, if there is a doubt email a picture to me and I'll be able to tell you regards DW

[@gussoid]

[@varguitasdna]

Great thing!!! I'd love to know 2 things... First. Which kind of striong are you sing? Steel or Nylon, sounds like steel to me... Second. Where can I buy this clip-rest?!?! :D:D

[@MartinWhittakerClip]

[@sircam6]

[@MartinWhittakerClip]

The cliprest has no effect on the string tension or the hight of the action in any way. regards Martin W
