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 815e
The Legacy 815e stands alone in the Taylor line as a Jumbo, non-cutaway acoustic-electric that blends elements of Bob Taylor's original designs with subtle upgrades to provide a modern feel. This model is crafted with back and sides of solid Indian rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top in a big, powerful body that yields a commanding voice. Featuring the traditional X-bracing pattern favored by Bob in the early days, the 815e serves up a warm, richly textured sound with clear trebles, throaty lows and a slight scoop in the midrange, all complemented by beautifully blooming overtones. A modern Taylor neck profile offers a hand-friendly feel and relaxed fretting, while older elements like the mustache bridge and a "straight-ear" peghead silhouette capped with a rosewood veneer.
Finished off with the sleek appointments Bob furnished for his original builds, this model sports white binding, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, a gloss-finished body and neck, and non-engraved Large Diamond fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl. It includes a special Legacy interior lable and an LR Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup with volume and tone controls mounted inside the soundhole. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
