Taylor Legacy 815e LTD Electro Acoustic, Natural Gloss

Full Description

Classic jumbo body with timeless tone

The Taylor Legacy 815e LTD Electro Acoustic is built upon the iconic Jumbo body shape, delivering a bold and resonant tone that fills any space with richness and depth. The combination of Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top offers a perfect blend of warmth, clarity, and projection. This tonewood pairing provides deep, resonant bass frequencies, balanced mids, and shimmering trebles, making it a versatile choice for various playing styles. From hard strumming to delicate fingerpicking, the Jumbo body captures every note perfectly - precise articulation is no problem for this beauty. The slightly updated body dimensions maintain the essence of Bob Taylor's original designs while enhancing comfort and tonal response.

Premium craftsmanship with vintage aesthetics

Attention to detail is at the core of the Taylor Legacy 815e LTD, blending modern craftsmanship with vintage-inspired elements. The guitar features a straight-ear peghead with a rosewood veneer, echoing early Taylor designs, while the elegant mustache-style bridge adds a distinctive touch. A gloss finish enhances the natural beauty of the Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, providing durability and a refined visual appeal. The white plastic binding, non-engraved mother-of-pearl Large Diamond fretboard inlays, and a three-ring green abalone rosette contribute to this guitar's classic aesthetic, offering a sophisticated yet understated look. These carefully curated design elements pay homage to the legacy of Taylor Guitars while incorporating refinements for a fresh take on tradition.

Advanced neck design for enhanced playability

The patented Taylor neck, formerly known as the NT neck, is a standout feature of the 815e, offering unmatched playability and long-term performance. This innovative design allows for precise micro-adjustments, ensuring optimal action and intonation across the fretboard. The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard provides a smooth and responsive playing surface, enhancing both speed and accuracy. The neck's ergonomic profile ensures comfort during extended sessions, making it ideal for various playing techniques. With a scale length of 25-1/2 inches and a nut width of 1-3/4 inches, the 815e delivers a familiar yet refined playing experience that adapts effortlessly to your style.

The undersaddle pickup captures the dynamic range and tonal nuances with clarity and precision, while the all-discrete Class A preamp ensures a warm and natural tone. The soundhole-mounted controls provide easy access to volume and tone adjustments, allowing you to shape your sound effortlessly in any performance setting.
