How many ply?

Yup · 11-04-2011, 04:00 AM

I've heard that Epiphone Casino has 5 ply wood for the body. This is a 1968 Casino. Does it look like a 5 ply body to you? Thank you for any input.

It almost looks like three equal thickness plies (like maple/poplar/maple). Here's a 67 custom 335 with mahogany for reference (mahogany/poplar/mahogany) where the poplar may be two layers (for a total of four).
