Taylor Legacy 810e LTD Electro Acoustic, Natural Gloss

Full Description

Classic dreadnought design

The Taylor Legacy 810ce LTD Electro Acoustic is a modern interpretation of an iconic dreadnought, blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary refinements. The body shape has been subtly updated from Bob Taylor’s original designs while preserving the bold tonal character that defines the dreadnought style. Indian rosewood back and sides complement the Sitka spruce top, producing a full-bodied sound with deep lows, rich mids, and articulate highs. The gloss finish enhances the visual appeal, while the carefully contoured body ensures comfort during extended playing sessions.

Premium tonewood combination

Crafted with a combination of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, the 810ce delivers a well-balanced tonal spectrum with excellent sustain and dynamic response. Indian rosewood provides a warm, resonant bass response with shimmering highs, while the Sitka spruce top adds clarity and projection. This pairing ensures a versatile sound suited for a wide range of musical styles, from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming. The carefully selected tonewoods also contribute to the guitar’s visual elegance, showcasing natural grain patterns under a high-gloss finish.

Advanced neck design

The patented Taylor neck offers an optimal blend of comfort and playability, making it easy to achieve precise fretting and smooth transitions across the fretboard. Crafted from mahogany and topped with a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, the neck provides stability and responsiveness that enhances overall performance. The innovative design allows for micro-adjustments, ensuring long-term playability with minimal effort. The slightly wider nut width offers improved string spacing, allowing for greater control and articulation in both lead and rhythm playing.

Enhanced electronics and appointments

Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, the 810ce offers a natural amplified sound that captures the guitar’s rich acoustic character. The undersaddle pickup and Class A preamp work together to deliver a dynamic and organic tone, with intuitive soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls for easy adjustments. Aesthetically, the guitar features elegant touches such as a three-ring green abalone rosette, non-engraved mother-of-pearl Large Diamond fretboard inlays, and white plastic binding that evokes the classic appeal of early 800 Series models. The addition of a deluxe brown hardshell case ensures the guitar is well-protected, making it an ideal companion for travel and storage.
