Presenting the all new Taylor Legacy Series 810e featuring LR Baggs VTC Electronics.
The Legacy Collection is a retrospective family of guitars honors the legacy of Taylor founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug and their contributions to the world of guitar-making with models that channel Bob’s early inspirations and design innovations.
Three are reimagined rosewood/spruce models from Taylor's iconic 800 Series, including this 810e Dreadnought, which trace back to some of Bob Taylor’s earliest guitars.
The first 100 guitars built of each model feature an interior label personally signed by Taylor founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, including this specific 810e SN 1211214032.
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 the legendary combination of 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.
Cosmetic 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.
