Thin Strat body

I recently bought what was described as a Fender Strat body on ebay. It arrived yesterday and I was struck by how much thinner the body is than the Tex-Mex Strat body I recently purchased. After combing through the forum archives I'm getting the impression that my "Fender Strat body" might in fact be a Squire Bullet body. I only paid $30 for the part so I can't get too upset if it's a Squire rather than a real Fender. My concern is that it may be a laminate rather than solid wood body.

Can anyone confirm or refute my concerns, and is there any way to determine whether the body is laminate?

FYI, here's the ebay ad: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270090322199&rd=1&rd=1

Hi Forensicdoc. You'll need all of your forensic skills on this one!

The body may be a Squier affinity strat, rather than a bullet.

Study the routed areas where there's little paint, to see if the body's laminated from veneers (i.e. plywood). Even if it's solid wood, it will almost certainly be made of several strips rather than a single piece.

If you intend using it to complete a project, I wouldn't worry about what it's made of. I'd listen to what it sounded like when it was together.

Bullets are made of ply wood with a swimming pool route, at least mine was.

Affinity's have a normal route, but a thin body. If you look in the cavity, you would be able to clearly see the ply layers if it were a bullet. You can't fit a full size switch in a Bullet, but you can an Affinity.

I'm pretty sure that is an Affinity.
