Taylor Legacy 855e Natural with Hardshell Case

The Taylor Legacy 855e: A Timeless 12 String 

Classic Jumbo 12 String Tone

The Taylor Legacy 855e celebrates the legendary 12 string acoustic guitars that helped establish Taylor's reputation for exceptional playability and inspiring tone. Featuring the return of the classic Jumbo body shape, this model delivers the expansive voice, shimmering octave character and impressive projection that have made Taylor 12 strings favorites among performers and songwriters alike. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the Legacy 855e produces a clear, balanced voice with warm lows, articulate mids and chime like trebles filled with rich octave sparkle. Traditional X bracing provides the responsive foundation behind its dynamic character, while the generous Jumbo body offers outstanding volume without sacrificing touch sensitivity.

Modern Taylor Playability

While inspired by Taylor's earliest 12 string designs, the Legacy 855e pairs its vintage inspired construction with a modern Taylor neck for the effortless feel that players expect today. Classic appointments including the straight ear peghead with Indian rosewood veneer, elegant mustache bridge and tasteful cosmetic details honor the heritage of the original instruments while delivering a refined contemporary playing experience.

Premium Materials and Elegant Appointments

The Legacy 855e features a gloss finished body and neck accented by white binding, a three ring green abalone rosette, faux tortoise pickguard and large mother of pearl diamond fretboard inlays. A commemorative Legacy interior label highlights its place within this special series while premium appointments throughout reflect Taylor's attention to craftsmanship and detail.

Stage Ready Performance

Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics featuring discreet soundhole mounted controls, the Legacy 855e is equally at home on stage or in the studio. Whether played acoustically or amplified, it delivers the articulate voice and expressive dynamic range that have long defined Taylor's celebrated 12 string instruments.
