What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Taylor 514ce Legacy is a beautifully expressive Grand Auditorium that delivers warmth, clarity, and a refined, balanced voice. Its Western Red Cedar top offers a smooth, responsive attack with rich overtones, while the neo-tropical mahogany back and sides add focus, warmth, and a dry, woody character. The Grand Auditorium body with a Venetian cutaway provides excellent versatility, equally suited for fingerstyle nuance and fuller strumming. A comfortable mahogany neck paired with an ebony fingerboard creates a fluid, easy playing experience. Finished in gloss with elegant appointments like abalone accents and tortoise binding, it carries a timeless, understated look. Warm, articulate, and highly musical, this 514ce Legacy brings a voice that feels both intimate and dynamic!

Manufacturer's Description from Taylor

The Legacy 514ce, initially conceived as part of Taylor's 50th anniversary celebration, pays homage to the Grand Auditorium body shape, a true Bob Taylor original that has redefined how acoustic guitars sound, look and feel since its debut in 1994. This exclusive Legacy collection model boasts a tonewood pairing not found in the Taylor standard line: mahogany back and sides with a top of Western Red cedar. With its punchy midrange and dry, woody character, mahogany is perfectly suited to pair with cedar's warmth and soft-touch sensitivity, which will especially appeal to fingerstyle players and strummers with a lighter stroke. Voiced with the X-bracing that Bob used in the first Grand Auditorium models three decades ago and crafted with Taylor's signature slim, easy-playing neck profile, the Legacy 514ce is sure to inspire both traditionalists and contemporary-minded players alike. Appointments reflect Bob's preferred sleek aesthetic with faux tortoiseshell binding and pickguard, white and black top purfling, Small Diamond fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, a three-ring rosette in green abalone, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots, gold tuning machines, and a gloss-finished body with a satin finish for the neck. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with soundhole-mounted controls and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

Taylor Guitars

About Manufacturer

Headquartered in El Cajon, California, Taylor Guitars was founded in 1974 by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, and has grown into the leading global builder of premium acoustic guitars. Taylor employs over 900 people and currently produces hundreds of guitars per day in its state-of-the-art factory complexes in both El Cajon and in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. The company maintains an active dealer network, with Taylor guitars sold through hundreds of retail locations in North America and with international distribution to 60 countries, including a distribution warehouse and factory service center in the Netherlands.

Renowned for blending modern, innovative manufacturing techniques with a master craftsman's attention to detail, Taylor guitars are widely considered among the best-sounding and easiest to play in the world. The company was a pioneer in the use of computer mills, lasers and other high-tech tools and proprietary machinery, and today, Bob Taylor is widely recognized throughout the musical instrument industry as the visionary acoustic guitar manufacturer. Among the company’s many innovations are its patented Taylor Neck, the first major innovation in the construction of the acoustic guitar in the last 100 years; the award-winning Expression System® 2 (ES2) pickup, a groundbreaking approach to amplifying an acoustic guitar; and the T5, the first, true hybrid acoustic and electric guitar that can produce amplified acoustic tones, full-crunch electric, and everything in-between with the flip of a five-way switch.

In addition to its forward-thinking approach to guitar design and manufacturing, Taylor has applied that same approach to its wood sourcing and environmental sustainability initiatives. Taylor is dedicated to the pursuit of best practices in forest management, new models of reforestation, and bringing ethically harvested tonewoods to market. This approach, together with outstanding playability, flawless craftsmanship, and stunning aesthetics, are just a few of the reasons that many of today’s leading musicians make Taylor their guitar of choice. The company’s artist roster numbers in the thousands, and includes the likes of Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, Zac Brown, and many other established musicians.
