Student models, comparable to the Korean Squiers.  They're touted as being 
"multipiece", which I interperet as being plywood.  Though I don't know this 
for a fact, the available finishes lead me to believe that it is true... the 
clear (reddish) finished SG is bursted with a solid color on the edges.  A 
similar finish is used on all sunburst plywood Strat copy bodies.  The 
sunburst cuts at an angle across the elbow cutaway, while the width of the 
bursted border is even on solid wood bodies.
C-ya! Rich
