Taylor Expression System Advanced Battery Alert

Stage Assure™ is a proactive and highly visible battery monitor for Taylor® Expression System® acoustic-electric guitars. Unlike the built-in preamp power light, Stage Assure gives you an alert you will never miss even if you aren't looking for it. And most importantly, Stage Assure tells you how much time you have left to play so you will never have a battery go dead on you during a live performance.

It happens all to often with Taylor guitars that have the ES pickup - you are playing a plugged-in live gig and suddenly your guitar drops out of the sound system. Why? Because you did not notice a tiny light went off, way up inside the upper bout where you can't see it, even if you thought to look. Now you're stuck on stage with a dead guitar.

Stage Assure does 2 key things the built-in ES electronics do not:

• First, it puts the alert where you can see it, just inside the lower edge of the sound hole. It will catch you eye when it starts flashing a warning even if you are not looking for it. But it is hidden from your audience.
• Second, it tells you how many hours of play time you have left, so you can be assured you can finish the current set, or a multi-hour live event before the battery is going to give out. The first alert (slow flashing) begins when there is about 10 hours of play time left. When you see that you know you can play for a long while yet with no problem. The second alert (quick flash) starts at 5 hours. Now you know you can finish the set (or even a full gig) and replace your battery at the next opportunity.

Easy to install - no cutting wires, no soldering, no drilling. You can install it yourself in about 30 minutes, the kits contains everything you need.

Note that Stage Assure is compatible only with Taylor acoustic-electric guitars with the Expression System pickup.
