I went out for the weekend to Sacramento found it and wound up buying it. It is in great shape. Just needs to be cleaned up a bit will post pics after I get home and clean her up. Funny is I read head that because it is cedar it's not very loud. Loud enough for me. Sounds great.

Congrats in finding one of the most appreciated models. I own one cedar topped classical guitar (not A/O). It is quite loud. It has a little less "timbre" than a spruce guitar. But sound depends on many factors besides or cedar/spruce. I chose it among others because it actually could "fill the room".

So you're the guy that bought it just before I called (I live in Elk Grove), I'd been thinking about it for a couple of days and waited just a little too long!

Here she is. This guitar was nice to play when I got it. But then I put a new set of strings on it, it really opened up, got louder and sounded even better. took some extra elbow grease to get the finger cheese off but now even better. Stringing a slot head steel string is a blast! Need more practice.
