how much of the Guild D4 is laminate?

Is the top solid? sides solid? back laminate? There is no info on their web site that I can find. Saw one today that is at a good price... for us here in Japan anyway. So before I test drive it I was wondering if anybody could shed some light.

Hi sneaky
According to the Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars the D4 has a solid top , laminate back and solid sides. I hope this helps.

I think all Guilds have solid tops, and most have solid sides. The back varies according to whether it's flat or arched. The arched backs (which don't have internal braces, BTW) are always laminated. The flat ones should be solid.
