Taylor 815e Legacy Limited-Edition Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Taylor 815e Legacy Jumbo acoustic-electric guitar is part of Taylor's exclusive Legacy Collection, created to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary. This jumbo body guitar, inspired by Bob Taylor's early rosewood/spruce 800 Series models, features a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, offering a powerful, full-range acoustic voice with complex overtones. Limited to just 100 pieces signed by founders Bob Taylor & Kurt Listug, the 815e delivers both vintage-inspired aesthetics and modern playability for players who demand robust tone and projection.

X-Bracing and Sitka Spruce for Powerful Projection

Designed with Taylor's advanced X-bracing pattern, the 815e Legacy enhances the guitar's projection and sustain. The solid Sitka spruce top offers a blend of stiffness and elasticity that creates a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Whether strumming or picking, this guitar's large body and bracing work together to produce deep lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs, making it a perfect choice for players seeking volume and clarity in their performance.

Rosewood Back and Sides for Rich, Full-Range Tone

The solid Indian rosewood back and sides contribute to the guitar's powerful low-end response and shimmering highs. Known for its sweeping frequency range, rosewood produces deep, throaty lows and bell-like clarity in the treble, while maintaining a slightly scooped midrange. This results in a rich, full-spectrum sound with extended sustain, making the 815e an excellent choice for players who require a dynamic tonal range.

Vintage-Inspired Design With Modern Playability

The 815e features several design elements inspired by Bob Taylor's early guitars, including a vintage straight-ear peghead shape with a rosewood veneer and a mustache-style bridge. The clean, simple appointments—such as large mother-of-pearl diamond inlays, faux tortoise pickguard, and white plastic binding—are reminiscent of Taylor's early 800 Series models. However, the guitar also incorporates Taylor's patented neck, providing superior adjustability and smooth playability for the modern guitarist.

Exclusive Legacy Label and Limited-Edition Design

As part of the limited-edition Legacy Collection, only 100 pieces of the 815e will be signed by founders Bob Taylor & Kurt Listug. Inside the body, you'll find a special Legacy label, signifying its unique place in Taylor's 50-year history. This combination of vintage design and modern innovation makes the 815e a valuable collector's piece, as well as a top-performing instrument for today's players.
