These Legacy models offer you a chance to get the sound and vibe of the original Taylors, with some contemporary tweaks than even the most hardened originalist will agree are improvements that Bob would have included back then if he could.  The 810 was Taylor's Dreadnought powerhouse, and was designed to hold up under the rigors of travel and stage use.  This Legacy 810e has that road-worthy capacity, but is equally at home on a stand in your music room waiting for songwriting and practice sessions.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eCrafted with Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, this model has a big, commanding sound full of warmth, sparkle and blooming overtones powered by Bob Taylor's version of traditional X-bracing. Subtle updates include a modern Taylor neck profile offering relaxed fretting and simple adjustability, along with a slightly newer version of the Dreadnought body that still dates back to Taylor's earlier days. Appointments recall the original details of early 800 Series guitars, including white binding, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, mother-of-pearl Large Diamond fretboard inlays, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, and ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots. This Legacy guitar includes an undersaddle LR Baggs Element VTC pickup with soundhole-mounted controls. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case and sports a specially designed Legacy interior label.\r\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Taylor Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44744749842631,"sku":"TAY810CELEG-1211144013","price":3399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1709681_bd28dec7-71c1-439b-98d0-a90060227086.jpg?v=1786443134"},{"product_id":"taylor-legacy-815e-acoustic-electric-guitar-new-23881","title":"Taylor Legacy 815e Acoustic Electric Guitar - New","description":"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.","brand":"Taylor Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45609911288007,"sku":"TAY815ELEG-1204155088","price":3399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1717581.jpg?v=1786429944"},{"product_id":"taylor-legacy-810e-special-edition-acoustic-electric-new-24343","title":"Taylor Legacy 810e Special Edition Acoustic Electric - New","description":"Bob Taylor \u0026amp; crew were making great sounding and playing guitars 50 years ago, and when those models have enjoyed reasonable care over the years they still play and sound exceptional.

The first is that has a short 24 7\/8” scale length, which makes the guitar. a little easier to play because the strings are under less tension and the frets are a little close together. This also gives the guitar a slightly mellower tone. Cosmetically, it has a nice sunburst and the “Cindy” inlay fretboard inlay, which Bob Taylor originally designed as a gift for his wife in Taylor’s earliest days.  \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eCrafted with Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, this model has a big, commanding sound full of warmth, sparkle and blooming overtones powered by Bob Taylor's version of traditional X-bracing.
