I'm no expert, but if that crack in the top is along the grain, and went all the way through, then I'd say the thing at least has a solid top -- laminate is unlikely to crack in that way.

:agree: ...maybe. In the second picture, the one where the close up of the sound hole is reasonably in-focus, it looks like laminations are visible even under the white paint. Definitely hard to tell for sure.
Anyway, for $0.50 what does it matter - if it's one of your favs that all that really counts.
