Here are some threads that could help you in your endeavor. It's not the ES2, but I did rip out the ES1 in my 2011 Taylor and you might find a lot of the photos similar (e.g. removing the knobs, removing the endpin jack from the housing, etc.). A simple way to remove Taylor ES knobs (EQ/preamp controls) Retrofit K&K+Lyric into Taylor ES Retrofit K&K UltraPure Mini System into Taylor ES Cut-outs... Good luck. BTW, I figured out a dependable way to use the Taylor ES knobs with any type of potentiometer if you decide you'd like to keep the look the same. I use the low-profile Taylor ES knobs because they're the only ones I've found that don't get spun around by my guitar strap when I take off and put on my guitar. |

I agree with your assessment of the ES 2. I'll admit i've heard worse but I don't think they've solved the mystery of how to best amplify your acoustic guitar by any stretch. I could never find a setting I was satisfied with when adjusting those screws! |

You can order a cutaway without electronics from Taylor, it's just not an option many dealers would choose...
I'm not sure why you're so adamant that you don't want to even try to have this replaced - if I had a guitar under warranty with a problem than i would want it sorted regardless of how much I liked the guitar... Taylors are so consistent that I would want to get the system fixed and investigate ordering a non-electro cutaway model... |

I really like Taylor guitars but the ES2 however good it is is the most evasive system they have come up with really. Holes and a slot in the top and bridge to feed in the system from underneath? No thank you.

Anyone remove the new ES2 system from a Taylor?
+1 double neck. I'm a huge Taylor fan (truly) but it seems they are more committed to controlling their own electronic ecosystem than objectively provides viable options from LR Baggs, Fis hman and others. I give them props for an innovative culture, but let's be honest, the ES system has been controversial from its introduction and it appears to continue
