I played around on identical X20s and X30s when I was at Alistair's shop last fall and I couldn't tell which had veneer and which didn't with my eyes closed. I think the look made a difference in how they sounded to me with my eyes open, but that disappeared when I stopped looking and just played.
If you don't believe your eyes can change how you think you hear something, look up McGurk effect as something that can happen to you.
