The conventional definition for plywood is an odd number of veneer layers with opposing grain directions. The cheaper laminates used for instrument making some sort of "junk" wood for the interior layer and it is often at 90 degrees to the grain on the faces.

However, there are also better grades of laminated wood which use higher quality tone wood for the inner layer and the grain for all three layers run in the same direction. All laminates are not created equal.

Some laminated guitar do sound good, but all else being equal, a solid wood guitar is going to sound more lively.
