any taylor owners here?
I'm probably gonna pick up a taylor 712 in the next month or so. I was wondering if anyone had opinions about their expression system, and how it stacks up against other acoustic pickup setups. I'm asking because I hear so much for and against it I'm really confused. Playing it in the shop, I thought that the ES replicates the acoustic tone better than a piezo, and just gives you "more of the same."
However, I don't really know anyone in my town who actually has an ES-equipped guitar (and there are a LOT of taylors around here). Most of these non-ES guitars sound great too.
I'll pretty much be using it for solo fingerstyle, but it would be great if the guitar could hold its own among a louder electric band too. Thanks!
