Legacy 514ce
Please note. This serial number is an early production model from the Legacy Collection and features the Taylor Expression System. The standard spec uses a L.R. Baggs Element VTC acoustic pickup.
One of two Legacy models celebrating the Grand Auditorium body shape that Bob Taylor introduced to celebrate Taylor’s 20th anniversary in 1994, the Legacy 514ce is sure to entice players who love the warmth and touch sensitivity of a cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides. Voiced with the traditional X-bracing pattern that Bob used in the 1990s and 2000s, this model is updated to feature Taylor’s modern, patented neck design that optimizes playability and allows for easy micro-adjustability.
The appointments reflect the classic detailing of the 514ce for many years, including faux tortoiseshell binding with a matching pickguard, black and white top purfling, Small Diamond fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, gold Taylor tuning machines, and a gloss-finish body with a satin-finish neck.
The Legacy 514ce will become available later in the fourth quarter of 2024. Check with your local dealer or TaylorGuitars.com for updates.
