So I'm not sure if this guitar is laminate or not, I think it is solid, but someone says it is not. Here are pics, he claims that the mirror grain and outside grain aren't an exact match, I'm really not sure though. Can anybody help?

Its hard to tell from the picture but it looks solid. maybe a 70/30 bet.

What makes you say that? Just curious.... so the other guy is a buyer and he claims this is a 3 piece sandwhich which is why the mirror image doesn't match the top

Looking at the first picture of the sound hole edge it looks clearly to be a laminate.

You may well have better eyes than I do. I thought the grain was a decent match and I did not see the characteristic laminate line on the edge.

Looks like a custard tart on my digital monitor.
