Custom Legacy K10 LTD
A deep-tapered, short-scale Dreadnought body, premium tonewoods, and a revamped X-bracing recipe reimagine an upscale classic
Extremely limited quantity — 52 guitars, honoring Taylor’s 52nd year, features Legacy back labels hand-signed by co-founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug
An enticing choice for players seeking a truly distinctive sound and feel, the Custom Legacy K10 LTD puts a distinctive spin on the classic Dreadnought, combining a deeper, tapered body profile (⅛-inch deeper at the heel and tail) with a
shorter 24-⅞-inch scale length. Figured A-grade Hawaiian koa selected for rich variegation is paired with a premium Engelmann spruce top, producing impressive midrange character accented by koa’s distinctive top-end sparkle. Inside, a scalloped, more open X-bracing configuration allows greater movement in the lower bout area, adding warmth and low-end depth. Standout visual details include a polished ebony fretboard and bridge, ebony binding, Artist fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl and green abalone, a Honduran rosewood and paua abalone rosette, gloss-finish body, and Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners with ebony buttons.
