Taylor Legacy 914ce – A Return to One of Taylor’s Most Beloved Designs
The Taylor Legacy 914ce celebrates one of the most iconic acoustic-electric guitars ever produced by Taylor. Inspired by one of Bob Taylor’s favorite historical designs, the Legacy Series revisits the appointments, tonewoods, and voicing that helped establish the 914ce as a benchmark for premium acoustic performance. Built with a solid Engelmann spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the Legacy 914ce delivers the lush overtones, piano-like bass response, and sparkling articulation that made the original model a favorite among professional musicians, recording artists, and serious collectors. Unlike modern Taylor models featuring V-Class bracing, the Legacy 914ce returns to traditional X-bracing for the warm, rich voice that defined the classic Taylor sound of the 1990s and early 2000s.

✅ Tone & Performance
The combination of Engelmann spruce and Indian rosewood creates a remarkably sophisticated tonal palette. Engelmann spruce offers greater responsiveness and warmth than Sitka spruce, producing exceptional sensitivity for fingerstyle players while still providing enough headroom for aggressive strumming. The Indian rosewood body contributes deep bass, shimmering trebles, and rich harmonic complexity.
The Legacy X-Bracing enhances the guitar’s traditional acoustic character, delivering a mature, open voice with impressive sustain and dynamic range. Whether you’re performing on stage, recording in the studio, or enjoying the guitar at home, the Legacy 914ce offers the classic Taylor sound that helped define an entire generation of acoustic guitars.
✅ Premium Legacy Appointments
The Legacy 914ce faithfully recreates many of the luxurious details that made the original 914ce legendary. The stunning “Cindy” floral inlays, designed by Bob Taylor’s wife Cindy Taylor, adorn the fingerboard, headstock, and bridge. Rosewood binding, elegant abalone accents, gold hardware, and meticulous craftsmanship elevate this guitar into the highest tier of Taylor’s lineup.
For longtime Taylor enthusiasts, the Legacy 914ce is more than a guitar—it is a celebration of one of the most influential acoustic-electric designs ever created.
