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\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/taylor-venetian-cutaway-feature_5bf2316b-8782-4cce-9e1e-6279f287547c.jpg?v=1730669019\" alt=\"314ce Studio SEB Venetian Cutaway\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVenetian Cutaway:\u003c\/b\u003e The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines.
