Dreadnought

With its Dreadnought body and mahogany/spruce tonewood pairing, it's easy to see and hear the throwback inspiration behind the Gold Label 510e. This model boasts a deeper frame that combines with our fanned V-Class bracing to deliver unmatched power, projection and midrange warmth, all with controlled overtones and a strong fundamental focus that make this a compelling choice for any application. The torrefaction process used for the Sitka spruce top adds a dash of maturity and depth to the mix, while the long-tenon Action Control Neck yields improved resonance as well as exceptional adjustability so you can dial in the perfect feel. Understated visual details include a Curve Wing bridge in Honduran rosewood with matching bridge pins, nickel tuners, cream-colored binding and Crest inlays, and a full-body gloss finish. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe hardshell case.

• Solid mahogany back and sides for woody midrange
• Torrefied spruce top yields warm, mature character
• Deeper Dreadnought body serves up impressive volume
• Action Control Neck offers quick, easy string height adjustment
• Includes LR Baggs electronics and hardshell case

The Legacy Collection launched during Taylor’s 50th anniversary year as a tribute to Bob Taylor’s foundational guitar designs—featuring original shapes and voicing details, selectively refined for today’s players under Bob’s guidance. The Legacy 810e Special Edition Heritage Burst expands this lineage with a square-shoulder version of Bob’s original Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce dreadnought, inspired by the American Dream workshop where his guitar-making journey began. It complements the rounded-shoulder Legacy 810e model launched earlier in 2024, which reflects the shape’s later design evolution.

This richly appointed Legacy Collection model revives Bob Taylor’s early square-shoulder Dreadnought with a striking new look, highlighted by Bob’s Cindy inlays and a Heritage Burst top. A hand-friendly 24-7/8-inch scale length adds enhanced playing comfort.

Used 1971 Martin D12-20 12 String with Original Case in Very Good Condition. There are a few signs of wear, scratches, small dings; see photos for details. Was re-fretted recently along with a neck reset *(ED. Most likely not a neck reset)*, the bridge was slotted and saddle lowered to lower action; making this example extremely easy to play though modified. Feel free to contact us with any questions!

Here’s some info from Martin (1972 Catalog): “This 12-string guitar is constructed with a Dreadnought-size body of quarter-sawn mahogany and a resonant spruce top. The slim, 12-fret neck, also of genuine mahogany, ensures playing ease. Multiple-unit tuning machines, side-mounted. Typical Martin appointments provide traditional quality. This instrument may be tuned to standard guitar pitch. Polished lacquer finish.”

When it was introduced in 1966, the FG proved that a great acoustic guitar doesn't have to cost a fortune. With a focus on great playability, musical tone and outstanding build quality, the original FG180 became a classic. Now, 50 years since the introduction of FG acoustics, its tone is better than ever, so no matter where you are on your musical journey, it all starts here!

Rich overtones and improved sustain, thanks to the rosewood back and sides, deliver improved sound through greater depth.
