Perhaps your screen is better than mine but it's rather difficult to really see what the spruce top actually looks like on the photos -- but I trust that Jim picked out a clean set.

As for the straight-grained part, again I can't really see it clearly on the photos but it wouldn't be particularly exceptional if it were indeed (straight-grained). For Sitka, this would be a given even on moderately priced guitars.
