The Legacy 914ce goes back to the Indian rosewood and Engelmann spruce pairing that anchored Taylor's 900 Series for years, in a Grand Auditorium with a Venetian cutaway. Taylor points to warm lows, sparkling trebles and rich overtones from that combination, braced here with traditional X-bracing.
The playing side is updated, with Taylor's modern neck profile in the Legacy Standard Carve and an LR Baggs Element VTC pickup. The look stays with the older 900 Series: green abalone on the top purfling and rosette, Indian rosewood binding, gold tuners, a full gloss body and the Cindy inlays, named for Bob Taylor's wife.
For a 900 Series Grand Auditorium with scalloped V-Class bracing, an Action Control Neck and Claria electronics, look at the Builder's Edition 914ce, in Indian rosewood with Lutz spruce or Honduran rosewood with sinker redwood.
