@earwighoney .. I hear you! We've suggested that very thing to Eastman

I'd buy one from in a heartbeat! Send me a PM if they make them! 

Do Eastman ever listen to suggestions? Another gap in their line up is a 'proper' 25.4" scale OM.

It's my favourite combination of woods for Irish acoustic guitars.

It's a shame it's not more commonplace, I wish Eastman or something would make something with those woods at a competitive price.

Dowina make a cedar/walnut guitar for around £900, Sol or Chardonnay depending on the market. I have one, very sweet sounding instrument.

@ToneControl .. Stevie aka The Master! Could watch him spray guitars all day .. 

@earwighoney Yes they do - they took feedback from dealers last year to develop the E3e OM and D's on the basis that customers were asking for a sub £800 non-cutaway electro.

Ok then here you go, Lowden S35 12 Fret Cedar / Walnut

I imagine this guitar would be hard to sell "used" if the owner wants to sell it

(Since it has "Willy" in large letters decorating the fingerboard)

Finally sussed posting photos.
My Lowden O25. Cedar top, rosewood back & sides, 45mm nut.
Built 1999 - 2000 (Lowden records said to be a little more relaxed then!) 
I fitted an LR Baggs M1a soundhole pickup.
