Honoring the innovations of Taylor designs dating back to 1975, the Legacy 810e offers the sound, look and feel of the original Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar with updates to select features that enhance the overall performance and aesthetic. Crafted with Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top, this model pays tribute to Bob Taylor's ingenuity and instincts for guitar-making with a big, commanding sound full of warmth, sparkle and blooming overtones powered by traditional X-bracing and Bob's flair for tonal sophistication.
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.
