I'm still pretty new to all of this, and only have couple of builds under my belt, but it's my understanding that the thinner the top, the more it will vibrate. If it's going to be mainly electric, it won't matter as much. It's very interesting, the sounds that come out of these things acoustically. Of course, looking good counts as well ;-)

Corey has it right... if you're going to be playing it acoustic much at all, build on the bottom... Amped, either way, although, unless the graphic top is to die for, I almost always build in the bottom....

the best,

OK, I decided to keep it label side up, I scraped the paper off the inside and a layer of wood (its a plywood top). Its not as thin as the back but I think this will help.
