Frequently Asked Questions
The ES2 is a significant upgrade; it offers improved dynamic range and a more natural amplified tone, capturing nuances you'd miss with earlier versions.
The neck profile is Taylor's standard, a comfortable, relatively slim C-shape that generally suits a wide range of hand sizes, though those preferring a very chunky neck might find it a bit slender.
The cutaway allows for easy access to higher frets without noticeably compromising the guitar's structural integrity or tone – it's a well-executed design.
