Interesting change, it bothered me at first because the 714ce is one of my fantasy I want guitars with the cedar top, but I was visiting my local Dusty Strings acoustic guitar store and noticed quite a few more cedar top guitars from the likes of Goodall, Collings and others, I'm sure Taylor has other wonderful offerings coming and I doubt as consumers we'll loose, it's just change to keep the market interested. I have to admit, for painted guitars, these look really nice.
