No solid top.I just rmember these Cat?s Eye sold very cheap a years ago I followed while I was writing my article.Then sellers got them and were selling on ebay for more than 200% up....... A Cat?s Eye with a solid top is expensive nowadays but it was expensive back when I got my CE-1000....and Cat?s Eye are scarcer than Reborns or Love Rocks. Very good acoustics if you know wich is the one to get....
I own an original, aged 1981 Tokai CE-1500...it's the greatest/sweetest sounding dreadnought I've ever played. It's a dream for fingerpicking/fingerstyle. ALL SOLID WOOD. Solid Spruce top, solid rosewood back/sides. Oh and did I mention about the neck? It's the greatest playing neck I've ever played too! Very solid guitar with a SWEET BELL-LIKE tone. I wouldn't trade it with any guitar, not even with a high end Lowden.
