The swiss spruce provides a mature, warm sound (probably like engleman spruce does) but can be pushed really hard without breaking up. Overtones are quite pleasing - it rings like a bell and plays great all the way up the neck.

I played same kind of guitar in the shop here in IL. I was blown away by the way in sounded. One of the best guitars I ever played. Of course asking price which was around 5K prohibited me from taking it home.

This was one of the best guitars I ever played, but lets be fair here... I played many-many high end guitars, but very few at this price range. I usually stop around 3K, just because I can't see myself spending more than that yet...
