Product information

"The Taylor Guitars Legacy Collection celebrates a half-century of Taylor musical innovation...The first 100 guitars built of each model feature an interior label personally signed by Taylor founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug."

TME is excited to offer guitars from Taylor's new Legacy Collection, including the revival of a classic model - the 855e 12-string. In the market for a big-sounding, 12-string acoustic that does it all? Look no further! If you haven't played a Taylor 12-string you really owe it to yourself to do so. They are very fun and easy to play - something you can't say about every 12-string! - and the larger body size really gives this one some extra sonic heft. The 855e has been one of our most requested 12-string models over the last few years and we are very happy to be able to have it available again!

From Taylor: "Bob’s easy-playing 12-strings helped put Taylor on the map, and the Legacy 855e honors one of his seminal models, featuring the classic Jumbo body shape in rosewood and spruce. This 12-string model offers a playing experience unlike anything else currently available in the Taylor line, blending the warmth, clarity and balance of the rosewood/spruce tonewood pairing with blooming overtones and waves of gorgeous octave sparkle. Players will appreciate the comfortable neck profile and string setup, which continues to distinguish our 12-strings as the gold standard of playability. This non-cutaway acoustic-electric is voiced with the X-bracing pattern that Bob used for many years."
