Cedar
I’ve officially got gas. So looking for some suggestions…Here sort of what I’m looking for if anyone has any thoughts?
- Cedar top - small or medium body, prefer all solid wood - forward scalloped bracing - under $1k Anything in particular comes to mind? |

I’ll just chime in like the harmony-singing little chipmunk that I am and add to the happy chorus: go for the Eastman. They represent a superb value for the money.
Hope this helps. Wade Hampton Miller |

There's a used Furch OM CM (cedar over mahogany) in that range listed on the used section of Guitar Center's website.

How do they do it for $500? I've missed a Cedar topped guitar...I might just have bite on this myself?

Cedar
I have a Taylor 514ce 2006, I think it sounds really good! I play it interchangeably with my Goodall rcjc. Goodall is still better but not by much frankly.
Not sure how the new Taylor’s sound though. |

The open pore Sapele body helps them hit the price point. I own two of these guitars (one Sitka, one Adi), but not this new Cedar top, yet. I miss the warmth of a Cedar guitar.

I play almost only fingerstyle, but when I strum a bit, it's easy to over-drive the cedar top...I may just have a very sensitive one...don't get me wrong, it sounds soooo sweet. Hell if you were going to spend $1k, you could get the Cedar and the Spruce top! |

I wonder how it sounds though. I hope it doesn't have that Seagull-like tone.
