The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBehind the ES2 Design: Rethinking the Piezo Pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e For decades, piezo-electric transducers have been positioned under the saddle of a guitar based on the long-held belief that the string and top vibration cause the saddle to “bounce” up and down. But Taylor’s electronics team, led by developer David Hosler, discovered that the vertical movement is actually heavily restricted, and that the saddle gets “locked down” due to the string tension’s downward pressure. That’s why a traditional under-saddle pickup with piezo-electric crystals often responds with a sound often characterized as thin, brittle, brash or synthetic, especially with more aggressive playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saddle’s natural range of movement as the guitar is being played is actually back and forth like a pendulum. That revelation led Taylor’s design team to relocate the crystals from under the saddle to behind it. The new positioning enables the crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle. Three pickup sensors are installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the original Expression System, the ES2 features the same volume and tone control knobs. This makes it plug-and-play friendly both for artists and live sound mixers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Expression System® 2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/taylor-expression-system-2-electronics-feature_ad0009ae-6cad-4e54-8a4e-fa8f92ef8348.jpg?v=1727938255\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"Venetian Cutaway\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/taylor-venetian-cutaway-feature_103f9298-2878-4945-b357-d6fa42b8acff.jpg?v=1727935147\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVenetian Cutaway:\u003c\/b\u003e The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines.

By allowing the soundboard to flex naturally while maintaining rigidity along the center (in the direction of the strings), V-Class helps enhance the volume and sustain. It also creates a more orderly response from the soundboard. Up and down the fretboard, notes are full, true and consistent, with more harmonic agreement. It represents an entirely new design platform that can be adapted to different body styles in different ways to infuse each with a unique sonic personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"V-Class Bracing\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/taylor-v-class-bracing-feature_0_707a38c8-3d75-4a4f-9469-a10d43f53203.jpg?v=1727938499\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing System: V-Class Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutaway: Venetian Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Expression System® 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase\/bag: Hardshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Configuration: 2-piece No Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Gemstone, Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePeghead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Inlay: Gemstone, Italian Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Type: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOther\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: Tusq Nut, Micarta Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Taylor Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43589263056,"sku":"A306002111000032093","price":2124.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/1_169cdb11-5fa3-4538-a790-7f90a27c00ae.jpg?v=1763081593"},{"product_id":"taylor-214ce-k-sb-plus-figured-koa-grand-auditorium-acoustic-electric-guitar-w-case","title":"Taylor 214ce-K SB Plus Figured Koa Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar w\/ Case","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eWith its aesthetic beauty and musical sparkle, it's no wonder players love Hawaiian koa.

While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape.

Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications. If you like a guitar with fuller low end and brighter treble (bluegrassers, for instance), rosewood will do the trick.

The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar.

Its deep lows can assert a throaty growl, while bright, sparkling treble notes ring out with bell-like, high-fidelity clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSound:\u003c\/b\u003e One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time, rosewood takes the basic sonic thumbprint of mahogany (which has a strong midrange) and expands it in both directions. Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications. If you like a guitar with fuller low end and brighter treble (bluegrassers, for instance), rosewood will do the trick. Its high-end sizzle and clear articulation will benefit players with “dark hands”.

Its deep lows can assert a throaty growl, while bright, sparkling treble notes ring out with bell-like, high-fidelity clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSound:\u003c\/b\u003e One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time, rosewood takes the basic sonic thumbprint of mahogany (which has a strong midrange) and expands it in both directions. Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications. If you like a guitar with fuller low end and brighter treble (bluegrassers, for instance), rosewood will do the trick.

While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape.

While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape.

Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications.

The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body. The Grand Concert and Grand Auditorium have a steeper slope, while the Dreadnought is a bit flatter. Taylor's Grand Concert nylon-string models also feature a subtle, flatter slope, while Taylor's 200 Series cutaway models incorporate their flattest slope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"V-Class Bracing\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/taylor-v-class-bracing-feature_0_0374bc9f-dac3-48d8-89a1-39657386404d.jpg?v=1732563420\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eV-Class Bracing:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns. By allowing the soundboard to flex naturally while maintaining rigidity along the center (in the direction of the strings), V-Class helps enhance the volume and sustain. It also creates a more orderly response from the soundboard. Up and down the fretboard, notes are full, true and consistent, with more harmonic agreement. It represents an entirely new design platform that can be adapted to different body styles in different ways to infuse each with a unique sonic personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 12 String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Grand Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing System: V-Class Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutaway: Venetian Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Claria™ Pickup System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase\/Bag: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Wood: Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: White (.047\") Single Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Configuration: 2-piece No Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Faux Pearl Weathervane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003ePeghead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Inlay: Faux Pearl Weathervane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Type: Paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOther\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: Black Tusq Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.010 - .047)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Taylor Nickel with Nickel Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47619442671783,"sku":"A408102118402090000","price":2799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/1_dd120625-668c-48fa-a885-0c306d2ee2dc.jpg?v=1767921336"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bananas.com\/collections\/grand-auditorium.oembed","provider":"Bananas At Large Inc.® Musical Instruments \u0026 Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
