sides should be rigid, and the more rigid the better...

Hi...
Michael Bashkin doubles his sides to hold them more rigidly so they don't absorb sound from the top, so vibration is projected directly to the back. He then builds his sides and backs to be more responsive.
Some luthiers use tape or braces to firm the sides up.

He doesn't use plywood, he uses two complete sides of the same wood glued together.
