I think it's botanical name is Cedrus libani[/] - which actually makes it a proper cedar It has a gorgeous smell and I think it would make an interesting back and side wood for an acoustic guitar as well.

I have about 200 board feet of it I bought from a sawyer in Oregon. I have no clue where one would go to buy it from a store though...
