To wrap up a full year of celebration, Taylor's 2024 and fiftieth anniversary culminates with the Taylor Guitars Legacy Collection 714ce. As part of the Taylor Guitars Legacy Collection, this Grand Auditorium, released exclusively through this collection, closes out 2024's festivities for Taylor's fiftieth year. Unique tonewoods and specially-designed aesthetics make this Legacy Collection model a one-of-a-kind among Taylors and perfectly encapsulates fifty years of a job well done.

The Taylor Legacy 714ce comes together with an eye toward Taylor's lineage as guitar crafters. For this model, Bob Taylor personally looked back into the brand's history to make a model that balances Taylor standards both new and old. While not a strict recreation of any legacy Taylors from decades past, this Legacy Collection model represents a culmination of fifty years of experimentation, refinement, and musicality.

As a Taylor model, the 714ce is constructed in a Grand Auditorium shape with a body cutaway. The Grand Auditorium model, joining in with a celebration of its own of thirty years as a model, still exists as a standby model among Taylor Guitars, representing the innovation they commonly champion. This Grand Auditorium body is constructed with a western red cedar top. As a tonewood, western red cedar plays with great touch-sensitivity and warmth to accommodate fingerpicking and light strumming, perfect for singer-songwriters and performers. The western red cedar meets with a redesigned Taylor X-Bracing pattern, fitted to summon the sounds of '90s and '00s Taylor models. To complete this tonal portrait, Indian rosewood drops in for classic fullness and balance.

Along with its great tonewood combination, this Legacy Collection builds up its playability and visual presentation with a number of fine specifications. A mahogany neck lands on this model and pairs with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard for an easy grip and smooth playability. The West African ebony, a relatively newer addition to the Taylor line of standard woods, joins in to represent Taylor's historic dedication to environmental conservation and responsible sourcing of natural materials. These two woods are matched with an L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics system that seamlessly translates the sounds of this 714ce to the stage.

The Legacy 714ce is a marvel of Taylor aesthetic design. To tie everything together, this Taylor is designed with a suite of aesthetic appointments, making it really shine. Appointments include black plastic binding, a green abalone three-ring rosette, a gloss body finish and satin neck finish, a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, and green abalone dot fingerboard inlays. Finally, this Legacy Collection model features a specially-designed "Legacy" label within its body and travels with a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case from place to place.

Marking fifty years of fine acoustic guitar craft, the Taylor Legacy Collection is truly a special line from Taylor. Take part in Taylor history with this 714ce and hear the legacy for yourself.
