The Legacy 815e is a non-cutaway Jumbo drawn from Bob Taylor's early designs, with Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce top and traditional X-bracing. The big body gives it a commanding voice, and Taylor describes clear trebles, deep lows and a slightly scooped midrange, with overtones that open up as notes ring.
Older details carry over, including an ebony mustache bridge and a straight-ear peghead with a rosewood veneer. The neck is Taylor's modern profile, comfortable in the hand and easy to fret, and the body and neck are both finished in gloss.
White binding, a three-ring green abalone rosette, Large Diamond inlays in mother-of-pearl, a tortoise pickguard and abalone-dotted ebony bridge pins follow Bob's original builds. An LR Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup has its volume and tone just inside the soundhole, it's strung with mediums (.013 to .056), and there's a Legacy label inside.
For the same woods in a Dreadnought, look at the Legacy 810e. The Legacy 855e puts this Jumbo body into a twelve-string.
