Just thought I would say hello....my name is techman and I have owned a 714ce and currently have a GS8e. I am in electronics and have at times enjoyed making mods to the electronics in them. I took the fishman blender in the 714 and put the built in mic element on a homemade internal gooseneck to position it better. Actually helped quite a bit. Recently I committed the unpardonable......I modified my GS8 expression system. I hope you still like me! I disconnected the neck magnetic pickup so I could hear the body sensors....they had no frequency response under about 200 Hz. I tried moving one under the saddle, but it just didn't have any low end. So I took out the magnetic pickup and body sensors, then installed a K&K mini. I modified the taylor electronics to be high impedence to work with the K&K.....the existing circuit was designed for very low impedence [like around 50-100 ohms]. I am pretty happy with the way it worked out. I didn't have a lot of money in it, I bought it used so I was not scared to mod it a little. I am glad I did. Not sure Bob Taylor would be pleased, but it worked out. Also installed bone nuts and FWI saddles on both and liked that, too.
Anyway, that's my taylor story.....
