This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eES2 ELECTRONICS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial#\u003c\/b\u003e: 1208292185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e: 4lbs 3oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape: \u003c\/b\u003eGrand Concert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCutaway: \u003c\/b\u003eNo Cutaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack \/ Sides:\u003c\/b\u003e Figured Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Stripy Sinker Redwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard \/ Bridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany, Figured\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Veneer: \u003c\/b\u003eEbony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eSitka V-Class Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 24-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Carve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Peghead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side\/Top Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette: \u003c\/b\u003eEbony, Single Ring with Bound Soundhole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo Inlays: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Dots, 4mm, MOP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlays:\u003c\/b\u003e No Peghead Inlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Slot Head\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut\/Saddle:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Tusq Nut\/ Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics: \u003c\/b\u003eExpression System 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown Hardshell","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39951419015303,"sku":"TAYCUSTOM-12182-1208292185","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-concert-taylor-custom-grand-concert-12-fret-satin-shaded-edgeburst-figured-mahogany-sinker-redwood-w-slot-headstock-ebony-binding-taycustom-12182-1208292185-29.jpg?v=1664900416","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/taylor-custom-grand-concert-12-fret-satin-shaded-edgeburst-1536657","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
