Spraying is only a small part of "finish". The rest was done by their most talented builders. The other aspects are the woods used and attention to detail with binding work etc.

I've owned almost 100 Taylors and there sure seems to be a difference in this R. Taylor's voice if nothing else. Much warmer and rounder than any other I've owned. Most of those were from the pre '99 era which I consider the best.
