I emailed Washburn, to follow up on what I'd been told over the phone. Here's the response:
The Rarewood series is most definitely all solid wood. There is no laminate in the body. We were able to offer them at those low prices because we were able to get a great deal on some bulk quantity of woods. When I first played one of the rarewoods, my first thought was wow what a great sounding guitar. My second thought was that it was going to be too expensive for me to purchase. Probably over $1000. When I heard how much they were going for, my jaw hit the floor. I didn't belive a guitar of that quality could be offered at that price. It's a great guitar enjoy it.
