Taylor LEGACY-714CE Legacy Grand Auditorium w/ X-Bracing, Cuatway, Electronics, Cedar Top, RW b/s, Natural (#1202055066)

*Photos shown are of the actual guitar. Serial #1202055066.

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. 

• CASE/GIG BAG: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown Case Included.

Features

Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Western Red Cedar
A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.

Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
