laminated sapele back and sides
solid wood neck
real solid ebony fingerboard and bridge
this is not a knock on Martin, which some may think
this is just my opinion on those materials
I simply prefer real wood, or real laminated woods,

I think the part he was getting at was the rosewood isn't actually solid rosewood, but laminate. Some folks have the same aversion to that (laminate vs. solid) as they do Richlite vs ebony, so thus the comparison.
