So, the question is this: What is the point of putting a spruce top on a 700 series guitar? I thought that's what the 800 series was for Seems confusing to me.
The point might be that it will appeal to folks who want a sitka/rosewood guitar but prefer the Standard II bracing of a 714 over the newer CV bracing of the 814 but I think Guitar Center ordered them because they got a good price on something they could claim was exclusive to their stores.
