Just cut the Tip connection on the cable socket on your spare endpin. So your Ouput jack is only connected to Ring and Sleeve.
Unsolder your Anthem endpin jack and solder the cables to the Tip and Sleeve connection of your spare Taylor ES endpin. (check with a multimeter)

Now you have
* Anthem wired to Tip (+) /Sleeve (Ground)
* ES1.2 wired to Rig (- because of phase) / Sleeve (Ground)

If you use a Standard jack cable you will get just the Anthem sound.
If you use a TRS cable and a dual channel preamp, you can blend both. Just keep in min that the ES1.2 is out of phase, but most dual channel preamp have a phase switch to correct that.

No extra holes. Both system work.

my 2 cents,

That is quite an intriguing idea! Thanks for that suggestion, I will look into it but ultimately it might be too fussy of a solution for me.

I'm a simple-minded plug-and-play kinda guy, and as long as I can get a competent tech to drill the 2nd hole for me, it will help keep things super simple for me.

Has anyone drilled a second jack on their Taylor? Was there enough space between the battery box assembly and the guitar top?
