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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/b\u003e1207231158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4lbs 13.2oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e24-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eTusq Nut\/Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eV-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eGotoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width: \u003c\/b\u003e16 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth: \u003c\/b\u003e4 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSilent Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config: \u003c\/b\u003e2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size: \u003c\/b\u003eSingle Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSilent Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.: \u003c\/b\u003eAbalone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst: \u003c\/b\u003eNatural\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWedge: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Windansea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel: \u003c\/b\u003eTropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eWindansea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons: \u003c\/b\u003eGold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim: \u003c\/b\u003eMaple\/Indian Rosewood","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39553446674567,"sku":"A80300471101457S000-1207231158","price":70346.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-left-handed-taylor-builder-s-edition-816ce-lefty-grand-symphony-lutz-spruce-rosewood-natural-es2-a80300471101457s000-1207231158-28493240991879.jpg?v=1647656046","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-mx\/products\/taylor-builders-edition-816ce-lefty-grand-symphony-1230340","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
