Not so fast it seems...I checked another local shop, and found a Fender that just pushed all my buttons. It's the 2005 model (GD-22S) of the current Fender CD-220S, with the Asian Striped Ebony body. That's beautiful wood and is supposed to be an excellent tonewood.
It was marked way down due to the model change, but the specs are identical. Got it for US$199, well below what other retailers are charging for the current model. It has a solid spruce top and laminated Asian Striped Ebony body (laminated, but all of that same wood). Does anybody have any experiece with these guitars?
