About this listing
Meet the Legacy 810e Special Edition Heritage BurstThis richly appointed Legacy Collection model revives Bob Taylor’s early square-shoulder Dreadnought with a striking new look, highlighted by Bob’s Cindy inlays and a Heritage Burst top. A hand-friendly 24-7/8-inch scale length adds enhanced playing comfort.
Overview: Heritage Character with a Warm Voice and Enhanced FeelThe Legacy Collection launched during Taylor’s 50th anniversary year as a tribute to Bob Taylor’s foundational guitar designs—featuring original shapes and voicing details, selectively refined for today’s players under Bob’s guidance.The Legacy 810e Special Edition Heritage Burst expands this lineage with a square-shoulder version of Bob’s original Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce dreadnought, inspired by the American Dream workshop where his guitar-making journey began. It complements the rounded-shoulder Legacy 810e model launched earlier in 2024, which reflects the shape’s later design evolution.
What Sets It ApartDeeper Square-Shoulder BodyThis Legacy 810e adopts Bob’s original square-shoulder silhouette and features a deeper body taper in the lower bout, enhancing low-end response and presence.
X-BracingThis version of Taylor’s classic X-Bracing architecture has been refined to enhance the warmth, depth and projection and to produce a more open voice.
24-7/8-inch Scale LengthThe 24-7/8-inch scale length, occasionally featured in past Taylor dreadnought offerings, serves up a slightly slinkier handfeel for easier fretting—without sacrificing tonal richness. Paired with the deep body and bracing, the result is a dreadnought that blends powerful low-end warmth with nuanced articulation across playing styles.
Legacy Neck DesignThe guitar also features Bob Taylor’s patented, highly adjustable neck joint (NT neck), enabling optimal long-term playability and serviceability.
