Mick, IMO it's just out of tune. I've had mine for 3 years. If you change the strings every 3 months it holds its tune nicely. It can definitely take a beating. I smack mine all over the house and it is always strapped to my Jeep or motorcycle, the dogs crawl all over it and it really doesn't faulter. I've played other small guitars that are marketed as "backpackers" but a lot of them a just cheap versions of the full-size guitars. This thing is defintiely cool.

put a capo on 5 and you have a mandolin.... put one on 8 and you have a ukulele

sounds good...

Kinda appropriate that you took pictures of this in front of an out-house......cause it sounds like CRAP Yikes.....does IT not stay in tune, or can you just not tune?
is 10 the maximum gauge of the strings? or how is it?

@Paradisecity1992 They say not to go over nines... But I would say if you tuned down a half step it would not put as much stress on the instrument and should be fine.

I always used ultra light nines, but I would say you could go up to tens and stay down a half step with no issues.

The Martin BP guitar sounds like a very thin small body guitar. I dont have any better way of explaining it. This recording was done with a high quality four directional microphone, so that's what it sounds like. Gain was set to mid, and the soud hole of the guitar was about 12" away.

@macintologist04 That's okay. This was a demo audio/video for the Ebay ad when I was selling it.. Got more for the guitar than expected so evidently the buyer didnt care..
