Overview: Heritage Character with a Warm
Voice and Enhanced Feel
The Legacy Collection launched during Taylor’s 50th
anniversary year as a tribute to Bob Taylor’s foundational
guitar designs—featuring original shapes and voicing details,
selectively refined for today’s players under Bob’s guidance.
The Legacy 810e Special Edition Heritage Burst expands
this lineage with a square-shoulder version of Bob’s original
Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce dreadnought, inspired by the
American Dream workshop where his guitar-making journey
began. It complements the rounded-shoulder Legacy 810e
model launched earlier in 2024, which reflects the shape’s later
design evolution.

What Sets It Apart
Deeper Square-Shoulder Body
This Legacy 810e adopts Bob’s original square-shoulder
silhouette and features a deeper body taper in the lower
bout, enhancing low-end response and presence.
X-Bracing
This version of Taylor’s classic X-Bracing architecture has
been refined to enhance the warmth, depth and projection
and to produce a more open voice.
24-7/8-inch Scale Length
The 24-7/8-inch scale length, occasionally featured in
past Taylor dreadnought offerings, serves up a slightly
slinkier handfeel for easier fretting—without sacrificing
tonal richness. Paired with the deep body and bracing,
the result is a dreadnought that blends powerful low-end
warmth with nuanced articulation across playing styles.
Legacy Neck Design
The guitar also features Bob Taylor’s patented, highly

adjustable neck joint (NT neck), enabling optimal long-
term playability and serviceability.

Aesthetic Touches with a
Vintage Flair
The guitar’s elegant visual details nod to its
heritage roots with refined, throwback-style
appointments:
• Top Finish: A custom Heritage Sunburst
with deep cherry-red undertones
• Inlays: Taylor’s beloved Cindy inlay suite
in mother-of-pearl and green abalone
• Binding: Cream binding on the body,
fretboard and peghead, with black/cream
purfling
• Rosette: 3-ring green abalone with
matching purfling accents
• Finish: Gloss body and neck
