I had that same experience with a 512ce 12-fret.

I tried really hard to like Rosewood because of this very thing. I found out I really like Mahogany and I only have one Rosewood/Cedar topped guitar left in the bunch. Every other guitar I have is Mahogany or something close in tone (Koa, Walnut). I love Mahogany! Recently bought a Gibson Keb Mo wth adirondack top and I love it for finger style and strumming. Just perfect!!
