Details
The Legacy 514ce, initially conceived as part of Taylor's 50th anniversary celebration, pays homage to the Grand Auditorium body shape, a true Bob Taylor original that has redefined how acoustic guitars sound, look and feel since its debut in 1994. This exclusive Legacy collection model boasts a tonewood pairing not found in the Taylor standard line: mahogany back and sides with a top of Western Red cedar. With its punchy midrange and dry, woody character, mahogany is perfectly suited to pair with cedar's warmth and soft-touch sensitivity, which will especially appeal to fingerstyle players and strummers with a lighter stroke. Voiced with the X-bracing that Bob used in the first Grand Auditorium models three decades ago and crafted with Taylor's signature slim, easy-playing neck profile, the Legacy 514ce is sure to inspire both traditionalists and contemporary-minded players alike. Appointments reflect Bob's preferred sleek aesthetic with faux tortoiseshell binding and pickguard, white and black top purfling, Small Diamond fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body with a satin finish for the neck. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted controls and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
