Taylor 815e Legacy Sitka Spruce / Indian Rosewood - Natural
A Modern Homage to Taylor’s Jumbo Heritage
The Taylor 815e Legacy stands as a testament to Taylor's commitment to blending tradition with innovation. This non-cutaway Jumbo acoustic-electric guitar draws inspiration from Bob Taylor's original designs, offering a powerful voice and refined aesthetics that cater to the discerning musician.
Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the 815e Legacy delivers a commanding tonal presence. The Sitka spruce top provides a broad dynamic range, while the Indian rosewood imparts warmth, clear trebles, and rich overtones. The traditional X-bracing pattern enhances projection and sustain, making this guitar ideal for both strumming and fingerpicking styles.
The neck, made from neo-tropical mahogany, features Taylor's patented design, ensuring optimal playability and performance over time. The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl Large Non-Engraved Diamond inlays, adding a touch of elegance to the instrument.
Aesthetically, the 815e Legacy pays homage to Taylor's early models with features like the moustache-style bridge, straight-ear peghead with rosewood veneer, white binding, and a three-ring green abalone rosette. The gloss finish on the body and neck not only enhances its visual appeal but also protects the tonewoods.
Equipped with the LR Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup, the 815e Legacy ensures that its natural acoustic tone translates seamlessly when amplified. The discreet soundhole-mounted controls allow for easy adjustments to volume and tone.
Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or enjoying a session at home, the Taylor 815e Legacy offers a blend of vintage charm and modern functionality, making it a valuable addition to any guitarist's collection.
Experience the blend of tradition and innovation with the Taylor 815e Legacy—a guitar that resonates with both history and modern craftsmanship.
