heres a picture of a 2006 Giannini craviola I recently purchased. this is a solid spruce top Laminate pao-fero-marodo wood (what ever that is) this is their cheaper version they do make this in all solid wood I had a bone nut and saddle put in it and it really does sound prety good. I love the shape and it is very nice to hold in your lap. its only 3.75 inches thick the only thing is it is not real loud but adequate. It works for me playing on the couch with out disturbing the old Lady to much. Action was and is perfect as good or better than any guitar Ive ever owned. Mine came without a pickguard I emailed the company in Brazil and they shiped one out to me and I had it in a week. Of course this pic is shown with out the pickguard. Yours looks like a solid top and the sides and back woods are similar to mine. I really dont know about the older ones just thought id show you this one.
