Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Has a nice, punchy sound, but make sure to get the guitar set up before bringing it home. Out into a mixer to pa speakers. Makes my mini hog sound beautiful through my roland ac33 acoustic amp.

It installs in minutes and sounds great. Easy install. Screws (5 min tops), pickup clips into place. Very convenient for my needs.

This pickup avoids the grounding issue that so many reviews complain about. I hope that anyone who had unresolved grounding issues tries this pickup with a battery operated amp. Taylor has a great article and a couple videos about this along with a fu...  Read More

This pickup for the taylor gsmini is everything it is cracked up to be. It works great and makes my gs mini more versatile.



Cons

The gs mini pick-up is very noisy. No sound at all. Just some buzzing.

Bad very, very low gain. Essentially worthless. Really bad, and really disappointing from a great company like taylor. I'm now out 100 bucks and have a non-functioning pickup.

Quality


This product works excellant with the new taylor gs mini.


I didn’t realize the lack of volume control but i still like the product


First, to my ear, the pickup adds a nasal quality to the sound of the guitar that is not there acoustically.


(i also bought the taylor v-cable with the volume control knob.

Price


I like it a lot but price should be more like 50.


The price is a little steep since it’s s name brand you pay for.

Shipping


The shipping from the company on amazon.

Packaging/appearance


I asked my wife after service also, and she said that it had been coming through the pa and it sounded great.

Competitiveness


So easy to install and sounds great even with my eletric guitar vox amp!


Instalation can be done without removing strings however i recommend purchasing a set of strings with this for ease of instalation.


The whole 60hz hum thing i never noticed.


I waited to buy this for a year before jumping.

    I am not a guitar expert or anything but i am thinking that the people that have the buzz issue with the es go pick up is that they use it with an electric amp


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With the effects off and the delayreverb off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For the past six months ive been debating whether to get the taylor esgo pickup or to add electronics of some other sort


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I read lots of reviews online and although i have not really counted it seems that about half like the esgo and about half dislike it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The most common complaint seems to be about a hum andor a buzz


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well yesterday i decided to spring for the esgo which i purchased at my local store portmans music here in savannah


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It took less than 20 minutes and if you have moderate to smallsized hands like mine removing the strings is not necessary
