I'm not familiar with this guitar, but I have the Martin America 1, which is a dreadnaught with sycamore back and sides. When I compared it side-by-side to its twin, the D-18, whose only difference is the mahogany back and sides, it was not even a contest. I'm completely sold on sycamore as my favorite tonewood, at least in combination with an Adirondack top.

Flatsawn , book matched and laminated . Quartersawn sycamore is easy on the eyes as well . |

I liked the look of the first CEO-8 model a little more than the plainer, newer 8.2 version.
