Any Taylor buffs out there?
My Expression System quit working. Any suggestions? Fresh batteries have been installed of course. By "not woking" I mean nothing comes out of the input jack. I can hear a slight difference in hum in the amp when I turn the volume all the way up. |

Probably best to have a tech look at it AC...... |
I've done all my own tech work since I started playing, I'll do my best to figure it out on my own through net-help. If I can't I'll have to find a Taylor factory trained tech, I'm not about to send my baby to any of the hacks around here! I seriously don't know anybody within 150 miles I would trust with that guitar.
I agree though, I'm not gonna start fiddling around with the system itself, but if there are cables that can come loose etc... I'll change the strings and look inside with an inspection mirror later. It just quit all of a sudden which leads me to hope it's something simple. |

Buffalo Bros. is a big Taylor dealer in Carlsbad. That should fall within your 150 mi. radius.
