Im not a physics major or anything, but sometimes what seems correct in theory, doesnt hold up in reality... I've owned a rosewood Seagull with solid top and back but laminate sides and i've noticed the same thing Sandy noticed... it doesnt seem to affect the tone of the guitar that much. In fact, I've had some pretty talented people actually prefer my Seagull to higher end rosewood guitars. That being said, im not neceesarily saying the sides dont affect the tone at all...i just think that, it may not be as a big issue. The top and back affect the tone a lot more. just my two cents.
