Re: There were a couple of Stradolins on eBay over the long weeke
is there a big difference between those made in the 1930s vs. those from the 1950s?
All of the earlier ones I have seen were solid. All of them from the 50's (US Strad and all) I have seen have been laminated. If you see one that is that weird mahogany look on the top you can bet it's laminated. I don't know if any were made with solid tops and backs later in the game.
