Yes, it is. Back in the 90s, Guitar Center used to have a huge Memorial Day sale. If you were already a customer, you'd get The List in the mail. It was a xeroxed copy of a typed list of everything they were clearing out. You had to line up at the door at 6:00 am, and show the List to get in. They had a stack of Martin Backpackers ~ the nylon string version, for $99.

Taking a five day trip to Georgia, and this will be perfect to bring along. I know I'm not supposed to, but I'm going to string it with light gauge steel, keep it detuned a 1/2 or full step, and just play slide on it. What else is there to do in a hotel room?

Do you play? They are a bit awkward unless you put a strap on it.
I remember the Guitar Center sales. I grew up in Pittsburgh, and we didn't have a store then, but one year a friend and I drove to Ohio to one. Going from the small local music stores, it was like a different world lol. Instead of 10 acoustics on a wall, they had a whole acoustic room, filled with guitars that we could never afford.

I haven't played in a long time... kids, moving, life... etc. Everyone 6 months or so, I will get a guitar out, play for a bit and tell myself that I need to get back into playing, but it never happens.
Some day...
