But I do believe that majority of people refer to Indian Rosewood merely as "Rosewood".
Hi Peter,

In reference to all solid wood construction, I noticed on some cheaper guitars like the Yamahas/Corts that the sales told me it's just rosewood, it's reddish in colour whereas on my Mcpherson which says East Indian rosewood, it is more towards a dark brownish/purplish hue.

Somehow aethestically it's nicer. I'm wondering tonally the different grades of rosewood, how would that differ?
