Description

Designed with electric players in mind, the T5z brings more of an electric guitar look and feel to the popular hollowbody hybrid electric-acoustic T5 series. Electric-friendly features include a more compact body than the original T5, plus a 12" fretboard radius and jumbo frets that making bending strings easier. If you're looking for a versatile stage or recording guitar that blends the feel of an electric with a full range of acoustic and electric tones, the T5z gives you an essential musical tool.

Electric-Acoustic Versatility
Like the original T5, the T5z bridges the electric and acoustic worlds like no other guitar, unleashing a sweeping array of amplified tones. The hollowbody design features an active soundboard to produce a natural acoustic voice and incorporates three pickups: an acoustic body sensor, a concealed neck humbucker and a visible bridge humbucker. Crossover design features include dual compatibility with electric and acoustic amps, plus five-way switching and onboard tone controls that let you shift from shimmering acoustic to screaming electric in an instant.

The T5z includes a case.

    I've been researching this model for a couple of months. I found good reviews and not so good reviews. In other words, typical of everything else. But when I walked into the GC acoustic room and heard an older gentleman sounding incredible, playing a T5z, I was immediately impressed. Once I sat down with one I felt the connection that I was looking for.

    Love all my Taylors but this one had a terrible fret buzz. It was returned, and the replacement played well but the finish was not great. Plays awesome, and is very versatile.
