2005 epiphone les paul standard advertised as a mahogany body (pieces are acceptable here) and all maple top (actually laminated NOT acceptable, but when i read all maple top i read SOLID maple.... which would not be the case) ^^ actual instrument = 4 piece mahogany body, laminated (plywood) maple top..... i mean PLYWOOD sanding by hand and went through the venier (sp?) i'll attach a picture :-( one shows the plys on the "solid" maple top, and one that hopefully shows it is in fact an epiphone standard.
