Taylor Taylor Legacy Series 714ce Rosewood Grand Auditorium with LR Baggs Electronics
Presenting the all new Taylor Legacy Series 714ce Rosewood/Cedar Grand Auditorium featuring LR Baggs Electronics. The Legacy Collection is a retrospective family of guitars honors the legacy of Taylor founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug and their contributions to the world of guitar-making with models that channel Bob’s early inspirations and design innovations. The first 100 guitars built of each model feature an interior label personally signed by Taylor founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, including this specific 714ce SN 1211224084. The 714CE is one of the 2 models that spotlight Bob’s flagship Grand Auditorium body style that Bob introduced to the world in 1994, which came to define the modern Taylor sound. Inspired by Bob’s original builds, these retrospective models reflect the full scope of our history by blending foundational design elements with key developments along the way. Like its mahogany/cedar Grand Auditorium counterpart, the Legacy 714ce features a cedar top, but it’s paired here with Indian rosewood back and sides, a tonewood pairing not currently found in the standard Taylor line: Indian rosewood back and sides with a Western Red cedar top, voiced with the same X-bracing pattern used in the first Grand Auditorium guitars. The result is an exceptionally warm, mellow response with remarkable touch sensitivity that doesn't lose clarity in the treble range. Visually, this model reflects the understated aesthetic Bob preferred for his guitars of three decades ago, with appointments including black binding with black and white pinstripes, dot fretboard inlays in green abalone with a matching three-ring rosette, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body paired with a satin-finished neck. The Legacy 714ce features LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and ships with a deluxe hardshell case. Voiced with traditional X-bracing, it serves up a richly textured sound with warm lows, clear trebles and exceptional touch sensitivity, offering a response that adapts effortlessly across genres and playing styles. Like its 514ce counterpart, this model features a modern Taylor neck with a comfortably slim, hand-friendly profile.
