@highcoffclife12 No, it was a lot lighter when it was new, the guitar would be about 4 years old when I did this clip and I've gigged with it quite a lot.

There's no real finish on the top of the guitar (no varnish or anything), so it aged quite quickly. That's good if you want the guitar to look kinda road worn, the downside is that the HPL back and sides haven't aged at all, so there's a bit of a mismatch (although no one see's that when you're playing it.)

nice cover man! is that guitar good for blues?

@bernardomarinho007 Thanks man!

It's a nice guitar to play but with hindsight, I probably could have got something better for the money. Its got laminate back and sides and a stratabond neck but for the same money (600€ roughly), I could have got something with solid wood back, sides and neck. It is a nice guitar to play but a lot of the price is because it has Martin on the headstock. If you're thinking of buying a guitar in that price range, maybe worth looking at some other brands too.
