barton8367 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I know many people in here will be sick of this question but I have recently purchased an ej200ce and it's looks to me like a solid top, as well as sounding and feeling like one!! However I've read the specs and it says it's a select top, but it doesn't look like it to me so I was wondering if people knew for sure?! My Epi was made in 2005 if that helps at all? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Without good closeup pics it's impossible to say for certain but it's a pretty safe bet that it's a 3 piece laminate top (same as my 2009). The inner and outer laminates are really thin compared with the filler laminate (almost like a solid top with two paper thin veneers) which can give the impression of being one solid piece. Looks like the new ones (2010 onwards) are shipping with solid tops though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barton8367 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks a lot!! I was sat looking with a mate last night and we couldn't decide, it's confusing as it looks like one but I knew it shouldn't be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Why should it not be ? http://forum.gibson....tos-and-decide/ :unsure: Because they didn't change to solid tops on the EJ200's until 2010 and his is a 2005 but, as I said, without good closeup pics it's impossible to say for certain.
