Taylor Legacy 815e Acoustic/Electric Guitar
Solid Sitka Spruce top, Solid Indian Rosewood back & sides - gloss lacquer finish
Solid Sitka Spruce top, Solid Indian Rosewood back & sides - gloss lacquer finish
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.
