Thanks for all the replies so far. I didn't know anything about laminate and was indeed picturing the kind of plywood you see at Home Depot. Can't wait to get my hands on an IBJL 65.

I've been wanting a Casino but after I discovered that they're made out of plywood I feel a bit disappointed. It just doesn't seem very classy. Why do they make them out of plywood? What are the pros and cons of making a guitar out of plywood? What were the ES-330s made out of?
