Hello there,
I want to buy a premium quality japanese ES335 replica.
As I know, Tokai prices are raised, so ES155 is called ES175 now...it is said Tokai ES models have laminated (ply) top, back and side!!!
And on the other hand there is an Edwards ESP model E-SA-125LTS, which has solid (not laminated!) hard maple top, side and back, mahogany (not maple!) center block, lond neck tenon...eh...and Edwards is the cheaper one...
It is said, solid wood top is the authentic one, and that one has THE sound.
Is solid wood top better really, or it's not an important thing? I don't know, that would be my first semi-hollow body guitar.
Please help me, if you have any experience with these goods.
Thanks a lot. Regards.
