Epiphone ET-270....anyone know what type of wood it is?

Did a close up examination of one of these for the first time and It looks like a nice plank. Of course as I own some other 1970's Japanese Matsumoko made guitars I'm aware how skillfully veneer tops and backs can be blended in. I know these can't be a 1 piece body, but does anyone know how many pieces it is and what type of wood?

 

Also what scale length are these?

My 1972 ET-275 is a ONE PIECE non veneered alder body..........34 3/4 scale.........All original as well..........

 

 

I'll have to take another gander at it. A 1 piece body would be cool and surprising. I guess when I mentioned scale length I should have said is it a 25.5" like a strat, or 24.75 like a les paul. It seemed to me to be closer to a les paul scale, but the neck had 21 frets instead of 22.
