Lots of redwood and cedar tops have spruce braces, i know mine do, and those braces are certainly influencing the sound and They do go through a period of adjustment just like the top. If you have a redwood topped guitar built I think you will experience a guitar with more immediate openness than you might expect with a spruce top and which will also open up more with time and playing.
