Two of Taylors innovations of which The Music Zoo are big fans of are the Taylor Neck and the ES2 electronics. The Taylor Neck was developed in 2001 as a way to stabilize the guitar as well as improve intonation and reliability through weather changes. The Taylor guitar neck is built from a continuous piece of wood that supports the ebony fretboard all the way up to the 19th fret. The neck sits in a custom-fit pocket which is inset with laser-cut spacers and measured to within thousandths of an inch. With the Taylor Neck, every guitar comes out of the case with a perfect action and accurate intonation. The Taylor Expression System 2 electronics also offer some of the best and dynamically accurate amplified sounds of an acoustic guitar, through their proprietary behind-the-saddle design. You can't ask for a purer amplified acoustic tone than the ES2!
