Massive mahogany tops vs mahogany tops

I can see this distinction on the thomann online instrument selling website when I apply filters for acoustic guitars in the listing of, say 0/OO/OOO guitars

I just can't seem to work out what the difference is as both the "massive mahogany " tops and the "mahogany tops" are also described as "solid". (so not laminated seemingly)

And google is not much of a friend to me either.

Could it be something lost in translation from German?(they are a German company aren't they?)

They are very helpful and I am sure they would explain if I opened their chat line again but I thought I might ask here first.

It is actually an all mahogany OOO Fender (acoustic) at about 550eu that I am looking at.

They don't seem to like Fenders there even though they sell them but I think I might go for it anyway...

Never heard that term before.

as to Fender?

They make great electrics.

I own a few.

I have never played a Fender acoustic that I didn't want to put down immediately.

but its all personal taste, right?

I come across that reaction a bit.I have ordered it anyway and so I will have the chance to make up my own mind

If necessary I will send it back and get something else as I have 30 days to do that.

They tell me that it is solid mahogany, anyway.
