I have a 2008 R Taylor style 2 - cocobolo b/s and alpine swiss spruce top. I requested a balanced sound used mostly for fingerstyle playing and this is exactly what I got. I love this guitar - it keeps getting better sounding all the time. 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.
