Les Paul wood

Does anyone out there know what the "A" designations are for in relation to flametops? Just picked up a Historic '59 reissue with a "AAA" top, and have no idea what that means! Thanks in everyone advance for any info.

Yep, and I prefer the AA's myself. Those AAAAA's are just too busy IMO.
