I am awaiting a new Taylor 812ce with a western red cedar top, rosewood body and sides, a wood combination which I ordered for exactly the same reason you have posted. Up to now I've played nothing but jazz and bossa, so I just like a warmer, fatter tone. Since I don't have it yet, I can't testify to its sound. However, I did play a Taylor 714ce with a cedar top/rosewood body in a store and it was my favorite among all the acoustics, played both acoustic and amplified.

But why not get a good jazz archtop acoustic/electric?
