Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
There are alot of mixed reviews about the es2 pickup system in these guitars but always liked the way taylors sounded so I decided to get one,,, acousticly this guitar sounds amazing, plugged in, not so much,,, I don't know if maybe some of these come with bad piezo pickups or what but this guitar was super quiet, around -35 dB, second, has an awful quacking noise on the G string, I've read the manual and loosend the pickup and all it did was move the quacking down 2 frets. Waiting for taylor to respond to an email I sent regarding this. But I have seen videos where this guitar sounded good plugged in and other videos of people hating the es2 system so I don't know for sure if some are just being shipped from the factory with a bad pickup or what.
