Taylor Legacy Series 810e

The Dreadnought that Proves Why Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce Are a Timeless Combination

The Taylor Legacy Series 810e is a tribute to the Dreadnought with which Taylor built its reputation. As part of the 50th Anniversary Legacy Series, this is a contemporary reissue of the original 8-Series guitars from the brand's early days, featuring the same wood combination that made Taylor great: Indian Rosewood back and sides, Sitka Spruce top. The first 20 units of each Legacy model are signed by founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, but even without a signature, this is an instrument with character and history.

The 810e sounds as a Dreadnought should: powerful, clear, and with excellent projection. The Sitka Spruce top responds directly and dynamically, while the Indian Rosewood provides warmth and depth in the lows. The "old school" X-bracing gives the guitar an open, organic character strongly reminiscent of the originals from the seventies. Those accustomed to the controlled precision of V-Class guitars will find that the 810e has a different energy: more volume, more power, more room to play hard. The LR Baggs Element VTC translates these acoustic qualities into a natural amplified sound.

The neck is mahogany with a West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, a 1-3/4" nut, and a 25-1/2" scale length. The glossy finish on the body and neck, the D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Medium strings, and the included luxurious Taylor Hardshell case make this a complete set for the guitarist who knows what they want.

The Taylor Legacy Series 810e is for those seeking the classic Dreadnought experience, built on the foundations Taylor laid fifty years ago.
