- This particular guitar is one of the first 100 made of this model and is hand-signed by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug -  The Taylor Guitars Legacy Collection celebrates a half-century of Taylor musical innovation. Overview

• Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric inspired by original Bob Taylor designs
• Cedar top for warm, mellow tones and touch sensitivity
• Rosewood body yields rich overtones and sonic balance
• Modern Taylor neck offers easy, relaxed fretting
• Features LR Baggs Element VTC pickup

Built to honor the innovative spirit that drove Bob Taylor's guitar designs dating back to the early years, the Legacy 714ce celebrates the Grand Auditorium body shape that Bob introduced to the world in 1994. This model boasts a tonewood pairing not currently found in the standard Taylor line: Indian rosewood back and sides with a Western Red cedar top, voiced with the same X-bracing pattern used in the first Grand Auditorium guitars. The result is an exceptionally warm, mellow response with remarkable touch sensitivity that doesn't lose clarity in the treble range.

Visually, this model reflects the understated aesthetic Bob preferred for his guitars of three decades ago, with appointments including black binding with black and white pinstripes, dot fretboard inlays in green abalone with a matching three-ring rosette, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body paired with a satin-finished neck. The Legacy 714ce features LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
