Taylor enthusiasts and 12-string lovers alike will find inspiration in the Legacy 855e, a stunning acoustic-electric that pays tribute to the ultra-playable 12-strings that helped define Taylor’s legacy. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this model marks the return of the classic Jumbo body shape, delivering the bold, shimmering voice that only a well-crafted 12-string can offer.

Built with solid Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, the Legacy 855e produces a beautifully balanced tone—rich, warm lows, sparkling trebles, and a lush octave shimmer that fills any space. Traditional X-bracing, a nod to Bob Taylor’s early designs, enhances projection and resonance, while the large air chamber provides impressive volume without sacrificing touch sensitivity.

True to Taylor’s commitment to playability, this guitar features their modern, easy-playing neck, making it one of the most effortless 12-strings to play. Classic touches include a straight-ear peghead with a rosewood veneer, a mustache bridge, white binding, and a three-ring green abalone rosette—all reminiscent of Bob’s earliest designs. A faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and a gloss finish complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, the Legacy 855e delivers natural, dynamic plugged-in tone with discreet soundhole-mounted controls. Inside, a special commemorative Legacy label celebrates this model’s historical significance. This guitar ships in a deluxe hardshell case, ready for the stage, studio, or collection. Experience the magic of the Legacy 855e today at Haggerty’s Music!
