My only foray into cedar was with a 514ce (GA which is close to om)built
in 97. This guitar sounded great. It had a mahog back and sides not rosewood.
western red cedar top. Now for what it was it was a real nice guitar.
If your a quiet player or fingerstyle mostly i think cedar is a nice choice.
What i found was when you dug in to play it harder it folded fairly soon.
Now i played this guitar for 20 yrs But i think if you need a guitar for flat-picking or acoustic rock Or any other more aggressive styles like bluegrass. your better off with sitka or red spruce tops. If your a quiet at home fingerstyle or quiet strummer cedar is a responsive tonal wonder.
