New from Taylor: the Legacy Collection

Taylor is launching a collection of guitars featuring three updated versions of classic 800 series models. With this collection, Taylor wants to honor Bob Taylor's iconic Grand Auditorium, with two cedar top models that have long set a popular standard: the Mahogany 514ce and Rosewood 714ce. So it's a mix of old and new.

Overlapping Style with Popular 800 Series

This collection features three rosewood and spruce 800 series guitars, which maintain the classic dreadnought and jumbo body styles. Historically, these styles have contributed to earlier popular models, including the Dreadnought 810e, 6-string Jumbo 815e, and 12-string Jumbo 855e. These guitars aren’t directly copied from the original, but they do reflect its fundamental qualities.

In honour of Bob Taylor
The body and headstock are an older shape originally designed by Bob Taylor. The headstock is an early "straight ear" shape with rosewood veneer. The X-bracing pattern was also used on the earlier Dreadnoughts and Jumbos. The design is reminiscent of earlier 800 series models, with ebony bridge pins.

Old and new combined

The result is a collection with the look, feel and sound of the past, with a few subtle refinements based on modern knowledge and experience. Some details are the shape of the body and headstock, X-bracing, patented Taylor neck, bridge and aesthetics. The neck, previously known as NT neck, has already been one of the biggest design breakthroughs, and is again a promising feature.

The Legacy 514ce & 714ce feature a Grand Auditorium cutaway. The 514ce features mahogany and cedar, while the 714ce features rosewood and cedar. This honours the iconic Grand Auditorium body style, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Check all Legacy Models

Taylor Legacy 815e

The Legacy Series

This guitar is part of the Legacy series. These guitars are based on the first couple of guitars ever created by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, the founders of Taylor. The company is more than half a century old and want to pay their respects to Bob and Kurt with these Legacy models. Three of these are based on their iconic 800 series and the other two models are high-quality Grand Auditorium guitars.

 

The Legacy 815e

The Legacy 815e is a great guitar. The body has a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. This combination produced a warm and balanced sound. The guitar has a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. The guitar has a jumbo shape. This is the largest guitar shape on the market. The large body provides the guitar with extra room for resonance, resulting in a deep and powerful sound.  Furthermore, the guitar has LR Baggs Element VTC electronics so the amplified sound will sound authentic.

 

Taylor

Taylor is an American company that was founded in 1974 when two boys bought an old hippie guitar shop. The boys were very passionate about guitars and put a lot of energy into the shop. Eventually, the shop evolved into an international company. All Taylor guitars today are made in either El Cajon in California or Tecate in Mexico. Taylor is very proud of this, because guitars that are produced close to headquarters go through a more thorough quality control process and employee satisfaction is better regulated. Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. All guitars are perfected and with modern luthier techniques the guitars can be made with more precision and consistency.

The guitar has LR Baggs Element VTC electronics so the amplified sound will sound authentic.
