Sounds like you're stuck on Rosewood (for sound reason). I would recommend looking at an instrument crafted by Rich Mermer -- Mermer guitars. You can check his stuff out at www.gate.net/~mermer. I've been to the shop, seen him work, played the guitars...all extraordinary.

Personally, I selected the Taylor Cedar and Mahogany 514C because I prefer the mellower sound and the incredible sustain which allows you to do more with your left hand (assuming you're a right handed picker). Lot's of choices. Have fun.
