114 vs upper x14 models
« on: July 17, 2012, 03:30:42 PM »
Is the upper bout on the 114 slightly wider than say an 814 or is it just an optical illusion because of the cutaway differences?

Spec wise there is no difference in terms of the size of the guitars.
As you said, I think it is due to softer cutoff of 114.
