Taylor ES-B pickups

Developed by Taylor's renowned luthiers, the Taylor ES-B pickup combines state-of-the-art technology with unsurpassed playability, ideal for musicians seeking versatility. It also features an intuitive volume control that allows the volume to be adjusted seamlessly without compromising the clarity or quality of the sound. This makes the system ideal for both intimate acoustic sessions and larger stage performances. A key feature of the ES-B is the 3-band equalizer, which offers precise control over the bass, mids and treble. With these settings, you can adapt your sound to any room acoustics or style. A particular highlight is the built-in chromatic tuner, which enables fast and accurate tuning wherever you are. This handy tool eliminates the need for external tuners and ensures that your guitar is always ready to play, safe in the knowledge that every note will be hit perfectly.

Dragon Art Top

The centerpiece of this guitar is the stunning Dragon Art design top, which unmistakably expresses the power and mystique of the dragon. This special illustration is not only a visual highlight but also a testament to the craftsmanship that Taylor puts into its instruments. The fine lines and detailed patterns of the dragon motif are worked into the surface of the guitar, creating a vibrant, dynamic work of art that draws the eye. This special edition is a true collector's item that captures the essence of the dragon symbol - strength, luck and wisdom - and provides musicians with an inspirational source. The GS Mini-e Year or the Dragon is perfect for those looking for a unique, artistically designed instrument that makes a statement both sonically and visually.

Taylor - The epitome of the finest quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is a true authority in the production of first-class instruments. Professional production by trained specialists results in the finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increases! This is due in equal part to the exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and are therefore hard to beat in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. Careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not allow even the smallest defects to slip through and ensures absolutely flawless guitars before dispatch.

As if that were not enough, Taylor also attaches great importance to acting in an environmentally conscious manner.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled deforestation and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species that can no longer regenerate due to the high rate of extraction. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Taylor Sustainability

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

As ebony is particularly finger-friendly due to its hard, supple texture, it has long been the preferred choice for the production of fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock overlays, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, the high demand and the flourishing black market outstripped stocks, so that ebony ended up on the Red List of endangered species in 1994. In addition, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. To protect the forests, Taylor has been working with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé, Cameroon, since 2011 to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, Taylor guitars not only contain black ebony elements, but also the different colored, more clearly grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving the stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic decline and the associated negative ecological effects.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

The koa acacia population has also suffered heavy losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry and overexploitation have led to a decline that can only be halted through proactive action and reforestation. This is why Taylor Guitars, together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods, founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian jungle. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which enables the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
