• The Taylor Expression System

It starts with pure acoustic tone, but often doesn't end there. More and more Taylor players want to plug in and enjoy an amplified sound that reflects the same natural acoustic qualities they love about their Taylor.

The debut of the Taylor Expression System in 2003 delivered a major breakthrough in the realm of amplified tone. For years, Taylor had relied on after-market pickups that employed traditional piezo technology. But the result was inevitably a "quacky", distorted tone that failed to capture the natural acoustic richness and dynamics of a Taylor for live performance.

Those limitations inspired several years of extensive R&D, during which we studied the physics of how an acoustic guitar vibrates and deconstructed nearly every acoustic amplification system out there. Our discoveries informed the design of our own groundbreaking pickup system that uses magnetics much like a microphone does. The result is an exceptionally pure reproduction of a Taylor guitar's natural sound.

The Taylor ES delivers an amplified tone that will satisfy the most demanding pro player, yet makes it simple for anyone to plug in and sound great. Recognized throughout the music industry for its advances in the realm of acoustic electronics, the ES reinforces Taylor's reputation for making the ultimate performance guitar, as shown in the popularity of our Acoustic/Electric line.
       
How it Works
The Expression System incorporates three different magnetic sensors. Two strategically placed Dynamic Body Sensors™ affixed to the underside of the soundboard capture the complex nuances of the top's vibration, while a Dynamic String Sensor™ mounted beneath the fretboard extension registers string and neck vibration.

The preamp, developed with collaborative input from pro audio pioneer Mr. Rupert Neve, boosts the pickup signal cleanly, without the need for artificial EQ "coloration". The balanced, low-impedance signal the Expression System produces can run direct into a mixer or PA in most situations, and is free of distortion at almost any volume.

Three simple, unintrusive onboard control knobs preserve the aesthetic beauty of your Taylor, yet allow you to easily adjust the volume, bass, and treble to suit your personal preferences and performance environment. When set flat, the tone controls add no color and produce the most natural sound. Or, add bass or treble (or subtract) to adjust for the room or personal tastes.

The payoff is in the purity of high-fidelity amplified tone, unprecedented dynamic range, and extraordinary resistance to feedback and distortion. It enables all of the expressive subtleties of your playing to come through, just the way you intended.
