Yeah, all 300 and above Taylors come with ES. There have been a lo of people (Taylor fans) who have been REAL unhappy with the ES. Thay seem to go dead on people an awful lot. I am a fan of Taylors and almost bought a limited, but didn't want to pay $1200 for a guitar with what I feel are unreliable electronics. Try the www.acousticguitarforum.com for all of the ES info you need (that used to be the Taylor Forum, but people complained so much about the ES, Taylor shut it down, so people think).
