Step into a world of electrifying acoustic tone with the MGC Phantom ES2. Inspired by the best, this thinline chambered guitar blends concert‐grade acoustic projection with rock-solid feedback resistance—perfect for stage, studio, or living-room performance.

Choose your stage presence with a stunning quilted or flamed top in maple, walnut, or cedar, finished naturally or in rich bursts that accentuate every ripple of the wood. Beneath your fingertips, a silky ebony fingerboard on a resonant mahogany neck (25½″ scale, stainless-steel frets) delivers glassy trebles, warm mids, and tight lows.

Plug in and shape your sound with Taylor’s® award-winning Expression System 2®: three individually voiced sensors capture the pure acoustic character of the Phantom, while the onboard ES-2 preamp® gives you volume, bass, treble, and mic-blend controls plus a handy battery indicator. Whether you’re fingerstyle at the coffeehouse or striding through a full band mix, the Phantom ES2 gives you articulate clarity, dynamic range, and a commanding visual presence. Experience the next evolution in acoustic-electric performance—unleash the Phantom.

Your choice of steel or nylon string.
