Taylor - Legacy 815e Limited Edition + Etui

The Legacy 815e stands there, majestic and confident, like a living tribute to the roots of Taylor Guitars. Its Jumbo format, absent from the catalog for a while, resurfaces with a sonic presence that leaves no one indifferent. The combination of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce is a well-known recipe, but here, it takes on a new dimension, between deep bass, crystalline treble and a slight hollow in the mids that makes each note sing with impeccable articulation. If Bob Taylor had wanted a declaration of love to his own past, he could not have done better.

The handling is anything but archaic. With its modern neck with a fluid profile, the 815e welcomes the fingers without resistance, facilitating the most subtle transitions as well as the most tenacious barred. The moustache bridge and the "straight-ear" headstock add an assumed vintage touch, while the Large Diamond mother-of-pearl inlays on the fingerboard are a reminder that elegance is part of the brand's DNA. From the wood to the design, everything exudes excellence.

Electronically, the 815e does not cheat. Its LR Baggs Element VTC piezo sensor is designed to capture the slightest vibration with exemplary transparency. The volume and tone controls, hidden in the soundhole, allow you to refine the amplification with welcome discretion. Once plugged in, it retains the warmth and harmonic richness that make up its character. Ideal for those looking for an instrument that is as expressive as it is versatile.
