The reason for plywood is because it was free i know cherry is very much like maple
And I figure its going to be painted the color of randy rhoades' 70's les paul custom.
My uncle is the guy who built the Bigfoot guitar and that one has the whole body made from cherry plywood. Just type Bigfoot guitar on google images and there is picture of him holding it.

Even if cherry is much like maple, plywood will negate all effects of wood tone for the most part. And I Googled a bit, the bigfoot guitar isn't made of plywood. Took about 10 seconds to find that out.

Here's the main "bigfoot guitar" that comes up on Google being built.

That must have TONS of filler to get that kind of "sculpting" with plywood.

Also the guitar that I used for parts had a stoptail bridge like the squire bullet strat but I
Was thinking of switching to a tune o matic what does everyone think about them.

Also do you mean sculpting as a negative thing because I notice it is in quotation marks

Wisthekiller

I like TOM bridges more, but that's me personally. And I don't mean that negatively, it just looks more sculpted than carved because of the thick paint and odd shape.

I think he used 2 pieces 3/4 cherry plywood.i have one more question how would plywood negate the tone it's not like that of the woods tone shows.

DESTROYER5000

You need to paint your firebird ghostly white

Wisthekiller

Woods do actually impact the sounds of guitars. By using plywood, there's so much glue and the wood is usually not good quality, so it negates the tone you'd get from wood and generally makes it have nearly no sustain.

There's paper thin amounts of glue,and I can see where solid wood would make a better guitar,but its my first build so if turns out to be bad at least I did not waste any money on the wood,right?you see I don't have the money to buy a body blank,even if I did have that much money this is my first build. Sorry for the rant, but I'm basing my thought on the same principal of the ampeg Dan Armstrong where all the sound comes is supposed to come from electronics,right?its called an ELECTRIC guitar,right? Keyword here being electric.so that's where I am coming from on my opinion.

Wisthekiller

I don't know about where you are, but here at least, real wood is cheaper. You can get poplar, pine, cedar, and red oak for about half the cost of good plywood.

when I went to the lumber yard the piece I wanted 1 1/2" thick bubinga ,
I believe that is how you spell it,because its very similar to mahogany but it was like $250 for it so I was never mind with that.but I had some cherry plywood in 3/4 thickness that I knew I could layer and make a body blank out of. Did you that squires are plywood maple I think. But I just got done with my template I'm just keeping 2 volumes a 3 way switch and a killswitch.

What does pine sound like?
