Zapatero J-45 style guitar by Hamm-tone

This guitar boasts forward shifted Martin dreadnought style scalloped bracing on an Englemann spruce top.  The neck is Honduras Mahogany with a fingerboard that has a scale length of 25.4 inches in order to promote treble clarity and bass growl.  The look of this guitar is, however, all Gibson.  It's got the appearance that most J-45 fans are familiar with and yearning for, but a more focused tonal ability like a Martin.  Ebony fingerboard, bridge and binding are standard appointments on this gem of a guitar.  Back and sides are re-claimed Zapatero from Central America.  This wood had been water-logged for approximately one hundred years until it was brought back out into open air about ten years ago.  Zapatero is a fine and happy balance between Indian Rosewood and Honduras Mahogany.
