Taylor Legacy 714ce Electro Acoustic Guitar

The Taylor Legacy 714ce Electro Acoustic Guitar embodies Bob Taylor's visionary craftsmanship, blending historical design elements with modern refinements. Personally overseeing its development, Bob Taylor drew from his own legacy, creating an instrument that resonates with both tradition and innovation.

The Sound of Tradition – Reimagined for Today

The Legacy 714ce pairs a solid Western Red Cedar top with luxurious rosewood back and sides, producing a rich, complex voice with deep lows, sparkling highs, and a beautifully resonant midrange. The cedar top enhances touch sensitivity, making it ideal for fingerstyle and delicate strumming while maintaining tonal depth and clarity.

Aesthetically, the 714ce stands out with black plastic binding accented by black and white purfling, and elegant green abalone dot fretboard inlays. The glossy body finish and satin neck strike a perfect balance between sophistication and playability.
