Guild D-55's have always been made with 3-piece necks; traditionally mahogany-maple-mahogany. When Fender moved production to New Hartford, CT they also changed the design of the guitar slightly. One of the changes was a switch to mahogany-walnut-mahogany for the three piece necks. During a factory tour they told us that the reason for the change was because historically there were occasions of differing seasonal movement between the maple and mahogany laminations, and the neck surface would become uneven. Reportedly, the walnut and mahogany move more similarly. So to me it seems that argues against a laminated neck being more stable only by virtue of the fact that it is laminated.
