There are people who swear by Double top technology. Stronger, lighter with better frequency response.

Not that I know of. Actually, this is the first time I've heard of it. I've spent most of my time with solid body guitars though.
Did a Google search on the subject and it's an interesting subject. My thinking is the typical CBG size is too small to warrant this type of construction. Most CBG's don't even have bracing for the top and bottom which can be anywhere from 1/16ths" to 1/4" thick and usually one piece.
It's got me thinking that(logically speaking) that type of construction wouldn't be any different than using a thicker top. Like 3/16ths for instance. Seems that once 2 thin pieces with a "honeycomb" center piece laminated together would be just as stiff and vibrate as much as a solid 3/16ths piece.
I might try it someday on a regular sized acoustic guitar build just to satisfy my curiosity. Probably never happen on a CBG build, but I could be wrong.
