RE: Taylor Expression System



Bingo.... I have an 814, but I have the Fishman, and I'm waiting to hear 
some more reviews of the retro-fittable ES.  The ES sounds amazing, but 
the retrofit is different in the 3rd sensor placement, and I'm curious how 
this affects the overall tone. Besides the Amulet, the ES is the most 
remarkable innovation in Acoustic amplification to come along, IMO.   

Gary - do you use the ES?  Thoughts?  

Kris - you do get some nice sound out of your Fishman, but I'd check out 
an ES equipped Taylor next time you are at a store, the natural tone is 
incredible (but who know how it will sound when you put a bunch of effects 
on it).  Like I mentioned, they do make a retrofit able version for us 
non-ES Taylor owners.  

I've been seriously considering the upgrade since they introduced the 
option.  Though it is "pricy."

I have a 812 and I don't think the Expression is a Fishman.  If it has 
round
flat knobs (three of 'em) it's the Expression. Those pickups are not under
the saddle--they are magnetic and there are several of them.

I use a Taylor 310-CE acoustic guitar, which has the Fishman pickup system.
Here is the pickup description on the Taylor website. They are right under
the white bridge.
