Re: resonance and sustain for a 1-piece vs. 2-piece body?
I've heard multiple peice bodies sustain better..... I played a SG Classic that was a one peice and one that I think was a 4 peice. Yes a 4 peice lol. The 4 peice sustained better.
The one I ended up getting was a 2 peice. It sustains just fine.

Whether a body is 1-piece, 2-piece or more has absolutely zip to do with how much sustain it will have. But itself, a guitar body has no sustain. There are lots of other factors involved - such as the neck, pickups, hardware, quality of the wood, etc..

Sorta.
The point of multi-piece bodies, aside from saving money, is to get as light-weight a body as you can.
Light-weight single pieces of wood large enough for a guitar body are rare and therefore more sought-after/expensive.
However, thinner pieces of lightweight wood aren't.
No.

Another advantage of multi-piece is that it can ease construction. On a Les Paul, the channel between the control and selector switch cavities is routed before the front is glued on. On a one-piece, that channel would have to be drilled.

Interesting info.....I'm shopping for a Korina bodied guitar and have it narrowed down to either the Asat Deluxe or the PRS McCarty. The former are all two piece bodies while some of the McCartys can be found with the one piece.
