:) I'm speaking mainly of Electric Guitars now as I think that differences in plywood and solid wood construction would be much more noticeable in acoustic guitars.
I recently posted in another forum about neck combinations (maple and rosewood) and many said and I agree that the tone has a lot to do with the player and his technique. Having said that, why do so many absolute hate plywood guitars? I have a few plywood guitars (like an 80's Mako I recently purchased) that are dynamic sounding guitars. (I'm sure there are some bad ones out there too-there are some awful playing Fenders and Gibsons as well). All things considered-after installing good pickups/hardware, giving it a good setup and keeping good maintenance, what's wrong with a plywood guitar? In a market where instrument prices are severely over inflated, a good value is a good value. If I plug it in and it feels good, what's wrong with plywood?
