Anyone know what wood his might be?

Just a quick question - my brother managed to get this Epi Black Beauty as a project for next to nothing.

The original owner sanded off the black finish, and my bro says it looks like there might be a maple veneer on top of the mahogany. Judging from the pictures I think he's right, but the Epi site doesn't mention anything about a maple cap or veneer.

Have a look at the pictures and see what you reckon - he just wants to know what he's got to work with in terms of finishing it.

He's taken a shot of the lower horn where it looks like whatever's on top has been sanded through to reveal the mahogany below.

Cheers

I'd agree with maple - or possibly a bleached mahogany. Sometimes mahogany isn't sufficiently homogeneous in colour and in that case they might bleach it before staining it back to mahogany colour. Someone could have sanded through the bleatched bit - it doesn't look like it's been sanded through a top layer of wood - I'd expect to see a bit more feathering. Better 'photos would help.
