Tom Doerr brings a lot to bear on this Brazilian-and-Cedar beauty. The 2017 Legacy Select is dressed to the nines, and really shines when you put finger to string (or flatpick, this Doerr really handles both with aplomb). Dramatically figured Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with a Cedar top—and Tom marries the Cedar warmth with an incredibly crisp and explosive bass and middle register that makes this stand apart from the regular Cedar crowd. The Legacy Select has a lot to say, and isn’t afraid of raising the decibel ceiling to do it. Additionally, Tom added an arm bevel for creature comfort, as well as micro beveling the entire binding package for a touch of extra ease. Really, we’re impressed by the quality of every. single. detail. And there are a lot of details on hand here, from those bevels to the inlaid bridge, dramatically swooping heel, and the channel routed out of the center of the backplate of the headstock to let the neck’s Maple center pass through in plain sight.
We can’t recommend this Doerr Legacy Select more highly: it does it all, and it does it all exceedingly beautifully.
