This Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce 12-String is host to subtly updated features of the Jumbo body shape Bob Taylor originally inherited from Sam Radding, owner of the American Dream shop that he and co-founding partner Kurt Listug purchased together.
All Legacy Collection models feature a specially designed “Legacy” label inside the guitar. The labels for the first 100 of each model will be hand-signed by co-founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug.
Notable features of the guitar include:
- 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 Jumbo 855e 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.
