Taylor Guitars Taylor Electronics: Acoustic Tone for the Biggest Stages

Clear Acoustic Tone, Whenever You Need to Plug In

Beyond our signature craftsmanship and playability, there’s another factor that has made Taylor a household name among guitar players: acoustic electronics.

Explore the Taylor lineup and you’ll find the vast majority of our guitars are equipped with built-in electronics that make it easy to plug in and play through an amplifier, PA or recording interface.

From our proprietary ES2 to the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup featured in our Gold Label Collection guitars, acoustic electronics are just another reason why our guitars are among the most versatile and player-friendly in the world.

Expression System® 2

A proprietary system developed in-house and introduced with our revamped 800 Series guitars in 2014, the ES2 is a precisely calibrated undersaddle piezo that faithfully channels the unique character of your acoustic guitar, with discreet volume and tone controls that make it easy to shape your sound on the fly.

ES-B

Featured in many of our Baby, Big Baby, Academy and GS Mini Series guitars, the ES-B offers the combined utility of clear, authentic plugged-in acoustic tone paired with an onboard digital tuner.

ES-N

An undersaddle transducer pickup designed for nylon-string guitars, the ES-N delivers the articulation that fingerstyle and classical players need without sacrificing warmth.

LR Baggs Element VTC

Drawing its tone from the movement of the guitar’s top, the LR Baggs Element VTC balances warmth and volume with clarity and sonic detail, honoring the vintage-inspired sound of our Gold Label Collection guitars.
