Aria experts - anyone know if this is solid Brazillian?

A respected local dealer (I know the owner - he's a good guy) has this up on his site:

I haven't been able to find anything to indicate whether the B&S are solid, BUT, there's a PW-40 - presumably a lower model - on eBay right claiming solid B&S and with a BIN of $1,699:

I've been looking at that one on ebay too. It appears that the grain on the inside matches the grain on the outside of the back. There are two dark stripes about 1/2" apart on both sides of the center seam. I don't need another git right now so I'm going to pass but it is tempting.

I don't need one either, but if that one from the local dealer is truly Brazilian, I might have a go at it at the price he's asking. Even if it needed a neck reset it would be a bargain.

There's only one way to tell if it's real solid Brazilian. Take the guitar apart and it should look like this.
