It will need to be thin enough to allow it to vibrate and make tone.

Sounds like it should work, give it a try. You could always build a quick frame, lay it on top of the frame and do a sound test.

Depends what you intend to do with it - if you want to make it acoustic, it wont have much volume as it will be a bit thick.

If youre gonna stick a mag pup in it, then that doesnt matter much at all - it will just be a bit harder to work with that ply!
