Just spoke with my rep about ordering a couple of guitars from Alvarez and he told me they were discontinued due to the rosewood fiasco in the U.S.
So then, I said, ok, what the heck, I always loved that Seagull Artist Cameo, can you get me one of those? He says, nope. Seagull has cancelled the whole Artist line and already has the prototypes for its replacement series circulating for feedback.
My jaw hit the floor! Apparently, it's at least partly because of the rosewood thing again. Instead of replacing all the model's fret boards with something else they decided to just scrap the whole series and come out with a new one. Wow.
Did anyone else know or hear about this? I'm still in shock.
I may end buying a Taylor or Cole Clark after all because all the great guitars I like from the more affordable brands have all been discontinued! Good grief!!!

So the Artist Studio has been discontinued... 
In most cases, within just a couple hundred bucks. In some cases, I could get a comparable Martin or Taylor for the same price or less. This kind of shocked me as well. Didn't see that coming. LOL. 
There was this one place that had a Seagull Artist Cameo that was not moving. But, that was a while ago.
