I forgot about the importance of laminates in resos.
Don Young (RIP), who founded the reformed National Resophonic, told me the reason they use laminate woods is because they want to take the resonance of solid wood out of the equation, and it makes for a better cone tone. I remember thinking how weird it was when I found out my National body and top were all laminates...
