An artistic merger between the acoustic and electric worlds.

This version of the Taylor T5 electric guitar is crafted with a solid spruce top, chrome hardware, and microdot fretboard inlays.

A resonant, fully hollow thinline body is the backbone of the T5. Its comfort and playability is unquestionable, with the performance freedom of a solidbody and the feel and sound of a beloved Taylor acoustic. Whether played through an electric or acoustic amp, it delivers a fantastic range of pure tones from smooth, strumming acoustic to crunchy electric chords.

Electronics include a unique 5-way pickup system composed of a magnetic acoustic humbucker, magnetic electric humbucker, and a single Dynamic Body Sensor soundboard pickup, as well as a preamp system for mixing up the exact tone you need. Full binding, bone nut and saddle, stylized F-holes, a mahogany neck, sapele body, and an ebony fretboard and headstock overlay are standard.

Excellent workmanship on the spruce top. It's very resonate for quiet practice. Plugged in, it has a different character with lots of different sounds. I play it clean and don't use distortion. I like no.1, 2 and 4 position. I boost the bass, cut back treble. All the time the guitar still sounds acoustic like. I have a Gibson SST and this guitar has a different sound. To me it sounds best through my PA, just do lots of experimenting. My guitar plays very well with low action with no buzz. Probably the best strings are the .11 gauge. Have fun.

Other options to opt for...

Lately, live acoustic musicians have been looking for superb tone without the feedback of the hollowbody. Many have come out and for me, it just seems as though that the Taylor crew just decided to jump on the bandwagon of live solidbody acoustic instrument demands. Nothing really revolutionary about the T5 other than its use of the Expression System which really only works with their hollowbody line which sound amazing itself... but on their hollowbody models. The T5 although has that feel.... nothing really special about it.... my thoughts...
