Taylor hum
I now have a hum coming from my es2 system. If I unplug the cable it goes away so I switched cables, no change. Removed everything from the signal chain, used a different input. And I flipped the little switch inside the instrument.
Tried different guitars and the Taylor is the only one that hums. Any help out there? |

I did contact them. They let me know who does warranty work in the area. So I will take it to Portland Fretworks and let them play with it.
Thanks |

There is an internal fuse that, when burned out, will cause hum.

I think you’re referring to the ES1 string ground fuse. For ES2, my first suspect would be an oxidized or slightly misaligned molex connector. Unplugging and reseating those cables would be my first thought.

The cables between the pickup and the preamp, and the preamp and the output jack, are terminated with a connector made by Molex. They unplug and plug easily, are very light weight, pretty robust, have several types for different number of conductors, and are dirt cheap. I would try reseating those connectors and possibly spraying them carefully (no overspray in your guitar) with contact cleaner (the Home Depot stuff, or Deoxit D5, these are not the delicate insides of potentiometers).

Have you tried loosening and retightening the 3 piezo pickup poles? You'll need a 0.050" hex wrench. I was having issues with my 214ce after I swapped out the saddle. Adjusting those cammed poles can make a big difference. Make the adjustments while you're plugged into an amp to hear what's going on.

Appreciate the replies. I will try the suggestions and if that does not fix the issue I will take it in for some work.
