Gibson J-45 Rosewood

The Gibson J-45 is considered the workhorse acoustic guitar. It's reputation is as a good, solid instrument for professionals. The Rosewood back and sides in this model adds a darker sound. Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides is considered the premier wood for guitar construction. It costs about $2400, so it's probably made from Indian rosewood. It doesn't really look all that spectacular, but it sure sounds nice.
