+1 on what's been said, but the satin 03 series comes in a variety of tonewoods:

No suffix = Sapele standard (formerly Honduran Mahogany)
R = East Indian Rosewood
W = Walnut
K = Koa
BW = Australian Blackwood
FM = Flamed Maple
SP = Sapele (which was a limited run of 100 L and OM models back when mahogany was the standard

The 50 and 60 series also sometimes have burst finishes:
SBT = Sunburst Top (which is found on the rosewood 60 series)
TSB = Total Sunburst (which is found on the mahogany 50 series)
