My GS Mini mahogany is considerably darker

I've had my GS Mini hog for about a year now and have noticed it is a lot darker than when I purchased it a year ago.  I know guitars darken with age, but have any other of you mini hog owners noticed a big change over time?

I have both a hog baby and a hog GS mini.  The baby is 4 years old and has really darkened.  The mini is 2 years old, and it seems to be darkening too.  I like the look, hope you do.

Mine has also darkened. 

Many of my guitars have darkened over the years.  Both my 510-LTD and my 600-SPEC had tops that were almost white when they were new.  Now the tops of both are a beautiful honey brown.

I like it.

Phil,
I like the darkened look too, just wondered if others had noticed this on theirs.  My 814 is a '98 and gets more beautiful every year.   BTW, I love your slogan.  I've been playing badly since 1964 also, thanks to The Beatles.

Yup...it seems a lot of us were "hit" right around then.
