Is the top wood on the Ascari (NOT the P90 version) maple veneer on solid maple? Or is it just maple veneer over the mahogany body?

Wow... a solid flame maple top is surprising.
It's flame maple veneer. Killer wood but thin. We tried soon it over some maple but we didn't think the difference was worth it.
They were a bit brighter, but the mahogany that the factory overseas gets is so light and resonant the guitars sing beautifully as is.
Using the thin flame maple veneer means the maple isn't contributing significantly, so as we do versions without tops (e.g. M-2000 GTB)
they'll sound virtually the same. Just what we want.
