I received the guitar yesterday.

WOW!!!

Love it!

To settle the debate on the top finish, here are pics from both pickup cavities. I'll leave it to the experts to decide

How can you tell?

when I zoom in, I can see that the grain lines on top and side wall don't match.

Center seam is very slightly mismatched and the grain lines in the cavity don't match the top.

While I agree that it looks like veneer I see nothing clear enough in these
photos to prove this conclusively. The sections that we need to see are out
of focus. However the opinions given above are from people with far greater
experience and knowledge than I have.

Gotcha.Thanks everyone.

I'm super pleased. Here's a shot with poor lighting and before i do any clean up on the guitar. Beautiful!
