The layered woods used in guitars are usually made of tone woods glued together in layers. Is it plywood? Yes, technically it is because it is made of plies. However, comparing plywood from Lowe's to layered tone woods on a guitar is like comparing bologna to a t-bone.
Just my $.02.

I deliberately use the term "plywood" rather than "laminated" just to cause a bit of aggro.
Greg Smallman builds a nice plywood classical.
