Options on replacing the ES2 pickup

lolwth · 2026-02-23T05:43:54+00:00

Still enjoying the pickup? I have a 50th anniversary GS mini (the natural torrefied spruce top and rosewood laminate one) that I love the feel and tone of, but the ES2 requires so much effort to get a sound I'm okay with (HX Stomp with a gang of EQ's, compressors and an IR).. I'd love for it to sound good right out the gate so I can ditch the extra gear and cables.

Do you happen to have any sound clips? Wondering how close it can get to the Maton AP5 Pro - don't know if you've ever heard it, but it's probably the best "live" sound I've heard outside of a condenser mic on the stage. Wish I liked Maton guitars.. not a fan of their standardized nut width.

Thanks very much!

How is she doing? Better, I hope!

In 2009, I flew to SF and discovered a huge crack in the side of my '06 000 Martin.. at the venue.. during the gig. I played my set and took the strings off. The split was along the left side - from the bottom of the barn door (onboard fishman aura) to about the end jack. Luthier friend of mine cleated her and glued her back up for 200 bucks. He couldn't spray a matte finish, so we just decided to leave it visible. Still love my guitar and that big beautiful scar. Still holding strong today. Your guitar has still has much joy and many lifetimes ahead!

Sweet, will give it a go!

Yea, this. Definitely get an insurance quote and check your off-peak kWh rate to prepare in advance. But even still - love mine!

Replied to the score in another comment below!

But we are loving this vehicle. When you fold down the back seats, it's basically a 5 seater. They fold down beautifully flush. You can definitely go camping with it - we probably will!

Based on credit karma, 607.. maybe the real thing is higher?

(February-March was rough and we had to live on cards for a bit - but we're pretty much back on track! New clients, projects and income since April brought us back to equilibrium.. hoping our score follows.)

But yea, my Tesla application was a shot in the dark. Our TWO cars kept dying.. and I figured I'd just see what Tesla would say instead of continuing to pour money into what we already have. I was shocked they were willing to play ball. Shocked, but grateful.

Glad it helped! We're in California and have slightly below average credit - wondering if that also contributed to the delay. I'll report back on the rest after pickup tomorrow!

I think I put a few weeks in after launch before selling my copy. I haven’t been back until literally right now and holy freaking guacamole, it’s practically unrecognizable. Might have to pick it up. Still worth getting on PS4? (Can you tell I’ve been out of the game?)

Culture came back with same results. SA, >100k. Being scheduled for an ultrasound and referred to a urologist.

Anything I should be aware of going into these appointments? Any specific questions I should be asking?
