My Bentley...
CPA, I do not disagree with what you're saying and as for me, I think I don't get along with cedar as much as you do, perhaps. I find that they sound GREAT on day one, but I much prefer how the spruces mature with time. My Santa Cruz "Tree" seems to run circles around my Olson, but as you say, our ears may be different. I happen to like mahog on larger guitars, not so much on smaller. Have a Port Orford cedar classical coming soon so I can then comment on it, but so far I am not a huge fan of cedar as it ages...perhaps, as you say, just me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts - do not disagree. Cheers.......

Cheers to that..the good news is they hold their value well. I would rather spend $15,000 on a guitar that in 10 years is worth $15,000 than one that costs $7000 now and worth $3,000 in 10 years. There is time value of money to consider, but Olson won't build guitars forever and in my mind, they will always be sought after particularly when he is no longer building!
