Another easy way to discribe it is to imagine a 5 year old well played
in Indian Rosewood guitar, most Brazilian Rosewood ones, after the
original break in period, will sound as good or better.
There are no hard and fast rules, but so far in my own experience, the
Brazilian ones have always won in this way. On the whole, a more
refined and mature sound.
