The ES-T System
Inspired by our Expression System technology, the Expression System Transducer, or ES-T, is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. (The ES-T was originally called the ES Element, but the name was changed to avoid confusion with another product.) The ES-T has an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full Expression System. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.Features

This is a guitar I will NEVER get rid of, no matter what I get (or can afford to get) in the future.
I've owned more instruments of every sort than any person ever should, and I can honestly say that this was the best purchase of a musical instrument that I have made yet.
Sound
I spent several weeks visiting music stores, playing every decent acoustic I could get my hands on. When it came down to it.. I actually prefered the sound of this Taylor in blind tests to 99% of the high-end guitars with a price-tag 2 or 3 times the size. I'm a very percussive, rhythmic, and somewhat aggressive acoustic player, and this guitar SHINES for my style of playing. It has amazing overall clarity, and an unbelievably "punchy" bass response. In my opinion this guitar sounded as good, if not better, than every other guitar in the high-end acoustic guitar room found at most music stores.
Features
The only drawback to this guitar is that you don't have an onboard EQ. Fortunately, it has such a nice even tone that I more than likely wouldn't use an onboard EQ anyway. If I need an EQ for live or recording purposes, I would EQ it on a mixer or recorder and leave the sound just the way it is coming OUT of the guitar. One other possible minus is that it could be a little bit of a pain to change the internal 9-volt battery (for the built-in preamp) in a hurry.. I haven't had to change it yet though.
Ease of Use… read more
As simple as it gets, it almost plays itself!
Quality
Great craftmanship. The guitar can almost feel a bit fragile because of it's light weight and the light finish if you are used to carrying a dumptruck of a guitar around your neck (as I was), but those things actually ADD to the quality in the big picture. I have no worries about gigging and I see this guitar outlasting ME in the long run :)
Value
Like I said, I had the opportunity to buy a much more expensive guitar.. and I actually prefered this model to most of the high-end guitars in blind sound/playing-tests. For the money, you can't get a better acoustic guitar in my opinion.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't needed any support.
The Wow Factor
It's a no-nonsense dreadnaught-shaped guitar. Not too flashy, but VERY tasteful. I personally like the dull finish of the guitar as compared to your everyday "gloss" finish of most other acoustics. It's simple, but it's still different.. and that is what matters to me. I feel confident when I play it, that the sound speaks for itself and the looks just "compliment". "Tasteful" is my take on the "sexiness" of this guitar.
