Scott D. Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 Would it be plywood if I took a piece of a dark colored wood, and sandwiched it between 2 peices of basswood. This being the wood stacked atop eachother. FOR A BODY. I dont think im gunna do this, it just crossed my mind.... wow I have alot of spare time. - Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespresence Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 I would call it "laminated" not plywood. A lot of companies and guitar builders do this. I have an Epiphone Les Paul that is Alder with Maple on top and bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 I THINK (and that's where the danger lies) that one of the foremost characteristics of Plywood is that there is ample glue between the wood layers and that Plywood is used because it is light and cheap compared to massive wood. So like BP stated above I would not call this plywood but laminated as well. Normally however, a laminated body consists of pieces that are joined at the sides, not stacked atop of each other, but a 3-piece body is a 3-piece body in my opinion. so long ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
