Big mac is 2 stacked maduro box's, both all wood no composite. The top of one and the bottom of the other were cut open so the inside is all open. At first it just sounded OK, but playing it seems to be making it better. This was a test and it seems to have worked.

Does the double-thick body provide a bit more bass response, or just more volume at the same tone?

Good idea! I bet it has a richer sound.
