Cool Solid wood vs. Laminate?

Every guitar is different, and the construction is important, so every guitar must be evaluated on it's own merits. I have several all solid wood guitars, with different soundboard bracing and thickness, some with solid tops & laminate b/s. The strings you use will make a huge difference in how each guitar sounds. And sound is subjective to every player. Play and compare as much as possible, until you recognize the sound you prefer. The rest doesn't much matter.
