The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40639424921735,"sku":"A903002111000077000-2611-1203023064","price":8333.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-dreadnought-taylor-914ce-grand-auditorium-sitka-rosewood-es2-a903002111000077000-2611-1203023064-30718853709959.jpg?v=1698144050","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/taylor-914ce-grand-auditorium-sitkarosewood-es2-serial-1811550","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
