Yes. The "Indian" designation is definitely referring to the East Indian Rosewood back & sides of the guitar. It happens to be a gorgeous set of Dark Chocolate brown grain which compliments this instrument not only cosmetically; but also sonically. Lending a bit of 'Sweetness' to it incredible tone.

Ah, when I saw 0001 cutaway...
Except for the rosewood and slotted headstock you matched what I would order for a custom Collings. Love the wider nut and saddle spacing, sunburst, pick guard, and short scale. Beautiful looking guitar with loads of great features ! Here are a couple of this model in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQejZmaMMIU GLWTS

Yes, the rosewood back & sides definitely adds some "Lushness" to the sound that may not appeal to someone looking to a more fundamental sound usually found with mahogany B&S guitars. I think for solo finger style, the rosewood adds a bit more "BODY" to the sound of the guitar by itself....( Just my $0.02 worth) As for the slotted headstock; I used to hate the look of these. Now, I've grown to really love the look. & quite frankly, I personally think they string up just as easily as the paddlehead tuners; once you learn the trick to it, maybe even easier? Cheers!
