PP advertising on their part! I saw the ad twice. They don't mention the model and they show what looks like the cheap/great/all Lam F335 "on sale" for the price you mentioned that I am sure is about to go X. That is the F335's regular price and I Pthhhhhhed the ad. For that dough for a 700s run don't walk!

Am I the only one who considers this an odd metric? Don't all laminated guitars stay in tune well because laminates are more stable than solid woods? Does that make them desirable?

A guitar that is all laminate that "stays in tune" is not more desirable than an all solid wood guitar that you have to tune once in a while. Tuning a guitar is not a major event.

Look into the world of classical guitars and high-quality guitars with laminate back and sides are not uncommon. Jim |

http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/person...cs/meranti.htm I found it interesting that Yamaha makes the laminates themselves.

That's interesting. Does that mean all Yamaha's laminate b/s are actually solid Meranti's? So the question is how good a tonewood is Meranti? Isn't it the same as Indonesian Mahogany? |

It could be that they only use Meranti for the sides and use a different laminate for their backs. I only say a video clip of their laminated sides being built for an LJ.

Could be. But then why use different materials (laminates) for sides vs backs.
