Taylor Legacy 714ce  

The Legacy Series

This guitar is part of the Legacy series. These guitars are based on the first couple of guitars ever created by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, the founders of Taylor. The company is more than half a century old and want to pay their respects to Bob and Kurt with these Legacy models. Three of these are based on their iconic 800 series and the other two models are high-quality Grand Auditorium guitars.

The Legacy 714ce

The Legacy 714ce is a great guitar. The body has a solid red cedar top and solid rosewood back and sides. This combination produced a warm and balanced sound. The guitar has a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. The guitar has a Grand Auditorium body, which was designed by Taylor in 1994 and is their most popular model. The Grand Auditorium is a bit smaller than the Dreadnought and a bit bigger than the Grand Concert. This also makes it more versatile, as the Dreadnought was designed for rhythm guitar and the Grand Concert for fingerpicking. The Grand Auditorium is a combination of both. The guitar has LR Baggs Element VTC electronics so the amplified sound will sound authentic.

Taylor

Taylor is an American company that was founded in 1974 when two boys bought an old hippie guitar shop. The boys were very passionate about guitars and put a lot of energy into the shop. Eventually, the shop evolved into an international company. All Taylor guitars today are made in either El Cajon in California or Tecate in Mexico. Taylor is very proud of this, because guitars that are produced close to headquarters go through a more thorough quality control process and employee satisfaction is better regulated. Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. All guitars are perfected and with modern luthier techniques the guitars can be made with more precision and consistency.
