Want to Buy - Taylor ES-2 under-bridge pickup
« on: November 18, 2020, 11:49:10 AM »
I don't need the board, just the bridge pickup and the wiring. I'm wiring it into a T5z ES-1.3

I'm thinking there's somebody out there who has replaced the ES-2 and has it sitting around with a price in mind? Thanks!

Hey Subby.  Welcome!!!

I am pretty sure the ES2 pup has three piezo sensors embedded in the bridge, just behind and touching the Saddle.  No sensor under the bridge.

I believe you would need to replace the bridge, or drill it to install the sensors, and the preamp would be another ball of wax... or ball of confusion.

I suggest a K&K under the bridgeplate, if you can get in there.  Much more simple and sounds excellent too!

Good luck on this interesting project.

Stay vigilant and stay well
