AFAIK that's a "solid-formed" top (= flat-top pressed into an arch) with a flat mahogany back. It was one of Gibson's budget instruments...

The L-48 was always (with the possible exception of a couple
highly apocryphal examples from the very earliest days of production and/or prototypes - heard about them, never saw one myself and don't know anyone who has) an all-laminated instrument, generally consisting of mahogany for the top and maple for the back - a couple of my students had them back in the early-70's...

Hmm, maybe I should become an expat and start an escort service to finance my guitar habit - I certainly meet the qualifications...
