Specification question

sretsbor Posted 2014-10-28 11:46 PM (#497390) Subject: Specification question Joined: October 2012 Posts: 23 Location: Southern California I was perusing Ebay and CL and then doing some subsequent research on the Ovation site and was wondering that if a model is listed as having a 'Sitka Spruce AA' top does that indicate that it is a solid top? For example: http://www.ovationguitars.com/guitars/archive/1717-legend/ Thanks.

Usually if they say Sitka, or Engleman, or Adirondack, it is real wood. Also, if it sez AA or AAA it is real wood. But often if it just sez Spuce, or Select Spruce or Figured Maple or some other euphemism... It is plywood. sretsbor Posted 2014-10-29 12:19 AM (#497396 - in reply to #497390) Subject: Re: Specification question Joined: October 2012 Posts: 23 Location: Southern California Thanks guys!
