Longtime Taylor players and fans are sure to find inspiration in the Legacy 855e, a 12-string acoustic-electric that honors the ultra-playable 12-strings that helped put Taylor on the map in its early days. This model returns the classic Jumbo body shape to the Taylor line, and with its generous dimensions, it's a perfect fit for the signature sound of a 12-string. Made with back and sides of solid Indian rosewood and a Sitka spruce top powered by the traditional X-bracing that Bob favored in the early days, the Legacy 855e serves up a clear, balanced voice with warm lows and chime-like trebles textured with beautiful octave sparkle. The large air chamber delivers exceptional power without losing touch sensitivity, ensuring a wide dynamic range that's responsive to the player's touch. This model features a modern, easy-playing Taylor neck to provide a contemporary feel, but also includes classic elements like the straight-ear peghead with a rosewood veneer and the stylish mustache bridge. Appointments reflect the straightforward aesthetic of Bob's early builds, including white binding, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and a gloss finish for the body and neck. It includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted controls and a special commemorative Legacy interior label. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case. Additional specifications include:Number of Strings 12 String Orientation Right Handed Body Shape Jumbo Bracing System X-Bracing with Relief Rout Cutaway Non-cutaway Color Natural Case/Bag Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown Top Wood Sitka Spruce Back/Side Wood Indian Rosewood Rosette Green Abalone 3 Ring Back Configuration 2-piece No Wedge Body Binding White Armrest None Top Finish Gloss Back/Side Finish Gloss Neck Wood Neo-Tropical Mahogany Fretboard Wood West African Crelicam Ebony Neck Profile Standard Carve Fretboard Inlay Mother-of-Pearl Large Non-Engraved Diamonds Fretboard Binding White Neck Finish Gloss Nut Width 1-7/8" Peghead Veneer Wood Indian Rosewood Scale Length 25-1/2" Peghead Inlay None Peghead Type Standard Peghead Binding None Peghead Finish Gloss Bridge West African Crelicam Ebony Mustache Nut & Saddle White TUSQ Nut, White Micarta Saddle Bridge Pins West African Ebony with Green Abalone Dots Strings D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.010 - .047) Pickguard Tortoise Tuners Taylor Nickel with Nickel Buttons Strap Pin Nickel End Pin Nickel 5 lbs 8 oz1208084075For more information about the Taylor 810e, please contact us.
