It would be helpful if you could post pics.

Yea a pic or a model name would help, Lado builds out of all types of wood, mine has a african mahogany back and various assortment on the top and a curly maple neck with ebony fretboard. Check there website.

The IIs were the cheaper line of the Canadian made models. Im not sure what mine had, but I thought it was plywood from the weight, it was so heavy when compared to all the IIIs I had. It could be maple, you could always email the old Joe dude at Lado..............

Yeah, it could be plywood. A friend of mine brought his Lado Hawk to rewire, and it was extremely heavy, and turned out to be plywood.

The IIs were way better than the Hawks. The Hawks were imports, at least the IIs were made here. I traded in my II to SongBird. I only got $165 for it. I really should have kept it, because $165 is about what you pay for a Floyd..............
