How do you adjust Taylor ES2 pickups?
1) Plug the guitar in and turn the volume up. 2) While plucking sets of two strings at a time, turn the adjustment screw associated with those strings (E/A – D/G – B/E) one turn coun- terclockwise until the sound of those strings diminishes. This will loosen the pressure on the sensor.
