The catalog often recommended an archtop guitar for 'orchestral work,' claiming
that the f-hole had a more 'brilliant tone and carrying power ... ideal for
auditoriums or concert halls.'

The 708 was a very attractive 'Spanish Style' guitar
(as the catalog so frequently put it). Nice little details like that stripe up
the middle of the back show how much care went into even the 'medium-priced'
guitar in the line. Harmony made (see pic), the 708 was a good bargain for some
'low-priced fun and entertainment (copy from the '48 catalog).' Spruce top,
curly maple back and sides, bound front and back.
