Cant really help you on the price. But I will say this......Cedar/Walnut Taylors are my absolute favorite Taylor flavor!! I smile and get lost in time each day when I play mine. If you like it and think its worth the $, buy it. You wont find that sound in any other wood combination . Its a very unique and special tone. Magic to my ears.
Its a very woody and warm tone, with that signature Taylor clarity, sustain and shimmer. The bass is full, the mids are rich , and the trebles are round. The notes just jump out of the guitar. They sound like air is swirling around them. Sort of like the a saxophone or the beautiful low notes of a flute or clarinet. Or maybe even a cello. THe notes really envelop the player. A softer touch gets the most out of the cedar top. If you are a heavy strummer , this probably isnt the guitar for you. Fingerstyle is where this guitar will shine. Altered tunings will really make it sing.
