This is how the interior on my Brian Moore i91 pickup cavity looks like. The thin layer, as indicated by the arrow, is the maple top material used for this guitar. The manufacturer chose to simply layer the mahogany body with a laminate top; the idea here is for the top to function as a cosmetic enhancement, not a tone enhancing layer. Is this a bad thing? No, it's how the manufacturer wanted it to be, pertaining to the overall cost of production. So when you strum the guitar unplugged, you are hearing the mahogany resonance as the dominant tone source.

is that the truss rod thingy?
yes bro, the truss rod adjustment access is at the other end of the neck ala '60s Fender models & majority of the EBMM guitars :-)
Maple top is not laminated. It is done this way in several models / manufacturers. The thickness of the top can vary, that's it.
