I can only warn you to get a cheap guitar like that. If the end peice is 40E the price for Thomann is about 12-14 Euro and manufacturing is maybe half of that after shipping, customs and taxes.
Laminated in this case I'd belive it's fanér (that's swe but hoping you'd catch in in eng. id you need to) which can be quite a bit less than 1 mm thick. If it's glued on, viola, laminated! i got a business and amongst other things I've sold electric guitars and I brought home low budget acoustic. I could never sell this with a good conscience. I test them before selling and these ones (end price about 35-40E worth) were impossible to tune. If I tuned them using open chors barré chords at the third fret were already out of tune. When I tuned it on the fith fret open chords were wrong. All because the nut was too high. This guitar looks similar, maybe comes from the same factory in China. And if it does, you better stay away from it. Maybe good for fooling beginners who can bare with the guitar for a few days, then realize they can't play - never figuring it's the guitar - and put the guitar in the closet and just give up  All I can say, stay off :-) -------------------- My bands homepage

I don't know this model, but a friend of mine once bought such a cheap guitar (an electric guitar though), and besides the fact that it didn't sound good it was impossible to be tuned properly, so I would also save some more money and go for a better instrument. -------------------- Guitars: various Gibson Les Pauls / Gibson J 45

Amen to that. For 40e it would really be a pain to play that guitar for sure, and money down the drain. Save some more until you can find some decent acoustic that you can TRY first also.
