A new series to honour Taylor's history
We are pleased to present the new Taylor Legacy Collection of five acoustic models that honour Taylor's long history. Three of these are redesigned rosewood/spruce models from the iconic 800 Series, which hark back to some of Bob Taylor's earliest guitars. The other two centre on Bob's flagship Grand Auditorium body, which defined the modern Taylor sound. These two models are based on guitars from the 500 and 700 series. Inspired by Bob's original models, these retro models reflect the full range of Taylor Guitars' history by combining fundamental design elements with key developmenmts that have been made along the way.
Key features of the Legacy 714ce
Built to honor the innovative spirit that drove Bob Taylor's guitar designs dating back to the early years, the Legacy 714ce celebrates the Grand Auditorium body shape that Bob introduced to the world in 1994. This model boasts a tonewood pairing not currently found in the standard Taylor line: Indian rosewood back and sides with a Western Red cedar top, voiced with the same X-bracing pattern used in the first Grand Auditorium guitars. The result is an exceptionally warm, mellow response with remarkable touch sensitivity that doesn't lose clarity in the treble range.
Visually, this model reflects the understated aesthetic Bob preferred for his guitars of three decades ago, with appointments including black binding with black and white pinstripes, dot fretboard inlays in green abalone with a matching three-ring rosette, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body paired with a satin-finished neck. The Legacy 714ce features LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
