Grammers can have laminated back and sides. I bought a rosewood G10 last year locally that just happened to pop up and I initially thought it was solid. I couldn't find any hard and fast info on the internet about what Grammer used. I made a phone call to Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island and the very nice gentleman on the phone said that the book he had stated that G10s were solid brazilian rosewood. After posting my questions and pictures on the UMGF, the Martin guitar forum, the consensus was it was probably laminated. The big clue was the absence of the center reinforcing strip on the inside of the back. There are ladder braces on the back, but no strip down the middle. My grain matched up, inside and out. I could find unique patterns on the outside and find it's correpsonding spot on the inside. My guitar has a poorly repaired headstock break. And someone had removed the end pin and moved it up about 1/2 of an inch. So there was a lonely empty hole in the end block. Finally, after a little deliberation, and mostly since it's already got a broken headstock, I took a dremel and enlarged the end pin hole to where it reached in on the rosewood side. it's laminated. At the time I bought it, Gruhn had two, one advertised as solid and the other advertised as laminated. Obviously they made them both ways. I tried many times to find info about it on the 'net, but couldn't come up with anything. I emailed the guy that runs a Grammer site and he said that they were made with all the finest materials etc... ButI think he's just a fan/collector and doesn't have any inside info about their construction. It's a bummer, but this is what I have.......
