The Taylor Legacy 514ce has a Western Red Cedar Top, Neo-Tropical Mahogany Back & Sides, Neo-Tropical Mahogany Neck, West African Crelicam Ebony Fingerboard, Taylor Gold Tuners, West African Crelicam Ebony Bridge, LR Baggs Element VTC Pickup, Incl. Hard Case.
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.
