I've never seen anything on this subject.
I notice that with the 2019 ES models with figured wood, Gibson mentioned they are "veneer"

I also went to the Gibson site and see as far back as 2014 they mention "veneer" for the figured ES models. They are all spec'd with 3 ply maple/poplar/maple.
My question is this: Do the figured models all have a flame veneer on top of the top ply of maple? Or is the top ply entirely flame maple?
I assume(?) veneers are much more thin than a "ply" of the 3-ply used. And I also assume Gibson would not use the term "veneer" if they didn't mean it literally.
I don't need anyone's guesses, as I can guess myself.
Does anyone know for sure what they use?
