-----Original Message----- Brian [mailto:Brian@porterresearch.com] wondered: Gary - do you use the ES? Thoughts? --->It's different! I played it for a friend of mine when I first got it and his words were, "It sounds like an electric." I don't think so . . . But we are so used to hearing that quacky piezo tone that our first reaction is that "it doesn't sound like an acoustic". I made a CD of cover tunes to give away as a favor at my wedding a year ago, and I began the recording process using the ES equipped guitar. Subsequent to that, I had to have the guitar worked on at Taylor (they are within half an hour drive, here in San Diego) and so I continued the process with my spare acoustic, a 410 with a Fishman. I could not put up with the difference in tone on the recording--and I am not a tone purist by any stretch of the imagination. The ES is "smooth"--and the tones you can get with the onboard tone controls are many and varied. I am especially glad of this because my main amplification in my strolling trio is a "tin can", the Anchor Audio Mini-Vox http://www.proaudiosuperstore.com/Anchor-Audio-PB25.html and even through that "joke sound system" I can get a great sound out of the Taylor. I am craving the T5 http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/t5/feature/Models.aspx?model=standard , and I haven't even heard it yet! Gary
