YEP NICE SCORE. :D
I'm feelin' a bit too lazy to search, but is that a cedar top? Kinda looks like someone used it for flamenco, looks like a wear pattern from tapping on the lower bout. (Flamencos traditionally used cedar for brighter tone).

Wow, doesn't look like 'hog. I was pretty sure I remembered seeing that there were some cedar-topped Marks though, and grain looked a little finer than spruce, is why I got curious.
