SKU:
ae00-27163
Manufacturer Part #:
855ELEGACY
This Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce
guitar features a subtly updated versions of the Jumbo body shape Bob
originally inherited from Sam Radding, owner
of the American Dream shop that he and
co-founding partner Kurt Listug purchased
together. Notable details for this guitar
includes:
• Body and peghead shape: The body is slightly newer than Bob’s earliest versions but still older. The peghead is an earlier “straight-ear” shape with a rosewood veneer.
• X-bracing: The pattern is a version used on Taylor Dreadnoughts and Jumbos prior to the arrival of Andy Powers.
• Patented Taylor neck: Bob’s breakthrough neck design (formerly known as the NT neck) enables easy micro-adjustability and optimal playability/performance over time.
• Bridge style: The Dreadnought 810e will have Taylor’s recognizable modern shape; the two Jumbos will feature Taylor’s vintage mustache-style bridge.
• Appointments: The aesthetic details recall those of the early 800 Series models, with a clean, classic aesthetic Bob loves: white plastic binding, three-ring green abalone rosette, non-engraved mother-of-pearl Large Diamond fretboard inlays, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, gloss-finish body and neck, faux tortoiseshell pickguard and Taylor nickel tuning machines.
• Onboard Electronics: LR Baggs Element VTC (volume, tone, compression), featuring an undersaddle pickup and all-discrete, Class A preamp that includes a soundhole- mounted volume and tone control.
