mgap, could you please share how your cedar/hog 12 fret GC sounds? I've been unable to play either an all hog GC or a cedar/hog GC, let alone a 12 fret model in either wood combination.

The cedar had significantly more overtones than the mahogany and felt like it sustained more, but in the end the all mahogany 12-fret won out for me. I like my cedar topped 514ce (loved it when I first heard and bought it), but this smaller all hog guitar is soooo playable and has such a warm sound without the overtone clutter of the cedar in the smaller size. Even though it's a smaller body with the hog top, it's impossible for me to overdrive even with a heavy pick.
