Taylor Sense -A must have!
I have owned several Taylor Sense units for several years now and find them to be extremely useful. They are easily fitted as replacement battery modules on Taylor acoustic electric guitars. I have found the Taylor Sense units to be highly informative and reliable. I have noted that the humidity readings are higher (6%) than all other humidity sensors I have within the room but this could be due to the retention of moisture within the guitar itself. Information relayed to a simple to use app, includes relative humidity (logged hourly) with low or high humidity alarms, battery status in addition to knock sensing. For those who use their preamplifier’s frequently, the ability to check battery status at a glance is incredibly useful in addition to the peace of mind afforded by being able to monitor correct storage conditions for your prized and valuable instrument.

Excellent
It takes the mystery out of when to change your battery!
Makes Sense
Takes the thinking out of taking care of my high end Taylor. Love it.
It is nice tool
Like this tool, it’s not perfectly accurate but it’s good enough to monitor and it’s too bad Taylor does not make it anymore. I have 3 Taylor’s and they should all have this tool . Sad to see it not available anymore
Needs an Alarm Clear
I think the app needs to give the user the ability to clear an alert/alarm after they see it
Great addition to my guitar
Love the Bluetooth integration with my phone
Great App
I like how I can review my Taylor condition when it is in its case. Great app to help keep it well humidified and safe.
Does what it's supposed to do
It does what it's supposed to and has consistent results.
Super tool
Excellent
Great Tool
Love having a alert for when humidity gets low in the winter - or if someone bumps my case.
Great way to care for your guitar
I have used Taylor Sense for about 2 years now and it is a great product to help you take care of your guitar! Definitely recommend if you don’t want to have to worry about your battery dying or your guitar getting too dry.
Handy tool
The humidity sense seems about 4 to 5 percentage points high but the battery indicator is a very useful tool.

It works!
I was having issues with it for the first six months I used it. The reading was always 10 points higher than the room hygrometer and even the hygrometer I had in the guitar case. The folks at Taylor looked into it and were able to recalibrate it remotely after I shared my account info with them. Seems to be spot on now, and as such, is super helpful to maintain the guitar in a healthy condition. Keeping it at a consistent level of humidity and temperature without sudden wild swings of either will keep it playing and sounding great. Which is why I chose a Taylor in the first place. The tone and playability can’t be beat.
Two years later - the TaylorSense is definitely worth it to keep track of your guitar’s environment. Better than guessing!
Updating March 2026 -- this is well worth installing. A small investment in your investment in a fine instrument.

Poor Connectivity
Worked okay the first year. It would display random impact incidents reported. Then connectivity pretty much dropped off. I’m lucky if it will connect once every six months.
Great app
In the winter it’s too dry and in the summer it’s too humid. This app helps me monitor and track humidity to keep my Taylor in the environment it’s meant to be in. Great app, no regrets.
Actually Works
Consistently reads within 2% of my permanent hygrometer setup. Which finally gave me confidence that my band room had any kind of stability and in where all the other guitars in my room were at. WORTH IT!
Works Very Well
I brought my K-12 in for a refresh and had the Taylorsense module installed. It works great and I am happy to get a reading of humidity in the guitar right on my iPhone.
Almost There
Please show the current humidity level of a device in the list of devices (next to their names) and I’ll up my rating to 5 stars! I don’t want to drill into a device every time I check the humidity levels, I have lots of guitars!
Pleasantly Surprised
I purchased one of Taylor’s Custom guitars that came with the TaylorSense system installed. I had read several reviews about how inaccurate these were. So I did my own testing for several weeks comparing both temperature and humidity to my hygrometer/ temperature gauge. Kept in the same vicinity, the readings have been consistent. I’m quite happy about that. The only issue that I’ve experienced is an intermittent disconnect with the Bluetooth connection. When this happens, I have to toggle the Bluetooth on my iPhone and disconnect/ reconnect the battery on the guitar. Also, contrary to other reviews I’ve read, I don’t see any power suck - less than 1% every few days. Too bad Taylor discontinued these. I’d get another for my other Taylor.
