Taylor Acoustic & Electric Guitars / Re: A question about the early days of Taylor Sense
« Last post by Frettingflyer on April 26, 2024, 09:10:44 PM »I was an early adaptor and have not had much issue with the 4 I have. Maybe he was referring to the app? It was prone to crash more often when first out.

Taylor Acoustic & Electric Guitars / A question about the early days of Taylor Sense
« Last post by joshsimpson79 on April 26, 2024, 02:19:00 PM »I saw on the Taylor YouTube channel where Bob was on he admitted how Taylor Sense "wasn't good enough" in the early days. I have two and have little problems with them, but I was wondering if someone could fill me in? Was the app bad? Bad readings? Did they do a recall? Just curious for those who tried it early on.

Taylor Acoustic & Electric Guitars / Re: Taylor 814ce ES2 Pickup System

Agreed. I was OK with ES1.2 in my 2006 GS-K (aka K16) and the ES1.3 with 9V battery was an incremental improvement in my other guitars. Either worked perfectly fine for my needs, with ES1.3 was definitely the pinnacle, IMO. Apparently Taylor does not care about alienating their long time customers.
I have no illusion that they will voluntarily abandon ES2 anytime soon, so I'm out of the market.9

I'm ok with 1.3 - it certainly provides me with an acceptable sound on 3 of my Taylors, although, if I'm totally honest, they all have issues of one sort or another. Minor when compared to the ES2 issues, so I've learned to live with them (I suppose that in itself is pretty darning for a premium guitar manufacturer?)
I'm guessing Taylor will continue to bury their heads in the sand on this - too much invested in ES2 to back down, it seems. They clearly don't think it's a major issue, but it might be - there's plenty of competition out there and a growing number of disenchanted ex-Taylor fans.
Perhaps they should do with pups what they've recently done with strings?
I've recently posted (again!) my dissatisfaction with ES2 on my 614ce. In spite of Edward's really helpful EQ advice (which resulted in an almost acceptable tone) I couldn't play the guitar on recordings or in any live situation (which, thankfully, I do very little of nowadays) due to the interference of noise transmitted through the top by the slightest finger contact. I note that one respondent on this thread has mentioned that as an issue but there must be loads of Taylor owners out there that have encountered it. If so, let the Group know by replying now. The more comments we get at this level the more likely Taylor are to sit up and take notice.
