Broderick's (guitar) body

I can't seem to stop looking at this guitar. Anyway, Mr. Broderick's custom Ibanez RGA model features a generous amount of maple as seen under the finished top.

For any wood capped onto a guitar body, there should be at least a quarter inch's worth of material for it to play a significant contribution to tone. Otherwise, it would simply be a cosmetic top or what the industry refers to as a laminate top- visually stunning but there for a decorative function only.
