Taylor 114e Layered Sapele ES2

Taylor's 100 Series:

Excellent instruments for beginners and advanced players with solid spruce top and Sapele plywood. The 100s are characterized by robustness and resistance to temperature and humidity as well as by a present sound and pleasant playability. Guitars with built-in electronics feature the ES-2 pickup system.

Grand Auditorium Body:

The GA design is the link between the Dreadnought Grand Concert . Accordingly, it combines the Dreadnought large tonal range of flatpicking and strumming with the advantages of fingerpicking Grand Concert . All in all a true all-rounder with an overwhelming sound!

Expression System 2 :

This Expression System 2 is an upgrade to the previously used version of the in-house pickup system. In contrast to previous practice, the Transducer ES2 is not located under but behind the web insert. This was due to the consideration that the insole is limited in its vertical oscillation due to the high string tension, but can oscillate back and forth. The Piezo pickup takes advantage of this movement to produce a warm, full and less biting, garish sound.
