Need to educate yourself on laminate buddy. HPL is a composite material made of resin and wood or paper fibre with a printed photograph paper surface to make it look like wood. There is no veneer in or on it. HPL guitars are one single layer of laminate. It is very durable and very cheap material, the same stuff they use to make kitchen worktops. As for the tone, if you are plugging into a PA, with that under saddle pickup, nobody in the room will know the difference between an X series and a D18.
Playability, durability and reliability are why people are buying this – not to be Martin snobs. They sound great like a Martin. Play like great like a Martin. Can take a beating as a travel and kicker guitar for people on the move or with kids and you NEVER have to worry about that back getting damaged.
One thing to note is that there is a reason particle board and pressured laminate are the choice for speaker boxes. You can manipulate the sound to be what you want easier.

Less talking and more playing please
After watching this video, I decided to purchase one of these. The one I purchased has the sapele top, and I received it today and I have to say I am very, very impressed! The feel of the neck, the fret board is very smooth and easy to navigate, is light weight, looks beautiful and the sound is great! My Fender CD60 has been my go to the past few years for an acoustic and is really good, but this Martin is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend this model!! Thank you so much for this video, as it sold me on this model and I am extremely pleased!
At 12:37 you said "I remember when I bought my first Les Paul, it was $12 back in 1901". Wow! You're looking good for your age! ???? thanks for the great review!
I would love to see a comparion of a martin 000-10e (or similar) compared to a guild om-120.
I didn’t understand anything about the difference between layering and laminating but you enunciated it very well. ????????
Totally epic stash dude!
I am between this martin and the 000cjr 10e. Which would you prefer?
I baught one today. I love it!
I'm getting back into guitar after being away from it for a very long time. The guitar I had before would cost at least $1200 today, but I wanted something a mid-range, not a cheapo, but also didn't feel like a high-end guitar just now. I found one of these used but looking like new, for $450, and I really love it. I may get something higher-end down the line but for now, it's a very satisfying guitar to play.
Thank you.
So the laminate is basically paper… so £800 for a paper guitar… Nope.
Great guitars. Not so sure about the pickup that comes in it though.
i loved my Xseries Macassar and All Matte black not that great sound when unplugged but compared to other brand this is much better, the sustain is impressive! i upgrade the pick up system into lrbaggs and put bone bridge saddle and set the action.. its became heaven men! this is the ideal for gig guitar, not afraid to scratch or bump not unlike the expensive one heheh
I’ve had a sapele top version. Sounds awesome. Definite Martin tone, durable and looks great, no complaints at all.
Great review, I think it's as good as there is for my budget combined with size, tone, playbility, and look. Thank you.
12 string line is very stable no belly rise buy n forget
