Why doesn't Martin make cedar top guitars?

Thanks again for the info, Ted. It's nice to get a dealer's perspective and answers on some of these inquiring threads.

I think all the Taylor guitars that I have played, that I liked the best were cedar topped or mahogany topped. It just tones down the brightness and I like that.

Cedar tops are great on nylon string guitars! Can have a lot of tonal color but not as much as spruce. Very warm and romantic sound.

I purchased them all.

I just got a quote on a custom Martin using cedar as the top. So, they will still build with it, apparently.
