I owned a 555 for a number of years (10+) and for me, it was the quintessential 12-string for that time. Very easy to play, rich, full tone, rumbled when tuned down a step or two— just a real pleasure to play.

Personal preference...I don't believe you'll hear a HUGE difference with Taylor 12s with regards to wood choices (maybe a bit more punch with maple or rosewood vs mahogany).
