Description
The Taylor 815e Legacy Series Jumbo is a bold, commanding instrument that honors fifty years of acoustic guitar craftsmanship. While it's aesthetically modeled after the company's first-year jumbos, it sports several contemporary updates that make it great for the modern guitarist. A true workingman's acoustic, the Legacy Series 815e produces a rich, prominent voice that's great for any setting, from rock to country and everything in between.
An age-old pairing of Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood sets the foundation for this model's big, bellowing sound. With every strum, you'll hear warmth, sparkle, and blooming overtones. Players will also notice how loud and balanced it sounds, thanks to its traditional X-bracing. For amplified performance, the Legacy Series 815e is equipped with an LR Baggs Element VTC pickup, which reproduces its acoustic sound with unrivaled sensitivity, depth, and articulation.
For enhanced performance, this Taylor acoustic has a modern neck profile that allows easier fretting and chord transitioning. However, it's still a vintage-inspired masterpiece, thanks to its white binding, three-ring rosette, mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays, tortoiseshell pickguard, and ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, all of which harken back to the early 800 Series acoustics.
Doubling down on style, the Taylor 815e Legacy Series Jumbo ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
