I’ve seen the light on this also. For fingerstyle, laminate back and sides gives me better, more clear articulation of notes plucked, without the inconsistencies an all solid wood guitar does in producing thicker tone. Your all laminate must be a special one. For me, responsiveness to a light touch is no.1, aside from good setup and accurate intonation.
