A one-of-a-kind Taylor acoustic-electric with exceptional playability and versatile tones.
The Taylor Custom T5z Big Leaf Maple-Urban Ash acoustic-electric guitar provides a versatile instrument for the serious musician looking to expand their sonic palette. Featuring a lightweight ash body with a stunning greyburst maple top, this hybrid guitar blends acoustic resonance with electric tones for a range of sounds. The fast mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a familiar feel for guitarists and violinists alike.
Resonant Tones from Premium Wood Construction
The guitar's ash body and maple top were meticulously selected for their resonant properties, allowing the natural acoustic tones to ring through. When played acoustically, the guitar projects with a balanced warmth and shimmering high end. The mahogany neck's oval profile and ebony fingerboard emulate the feel of a violin, making for smooth transitions between instruments.
Shape Your Sound with Innovative Electronics
The T5z's acoustic body sensor and dual humbucker pickups offer a variety of tonal options. Blend the piezo pickups to replicate an acoustic tone or pair them with the humbuckers for a crystalline tone with elongated sustain. A 5-way switch and tone controls provide flexibility in dialing in your perfect sound. The electronics allow you to capture the resonance of the acoustic body and meld it with electric tones for a dynamic range of sounds.
Premium Appointments Honor the Craft
Ornate green abalone inlays, including the Byzantine pattern on the headstock and limited-edition fingerboard pattern, demonstrate the guitar's dedicated craftsmanship. Additional appointments include black binding, chamfered edges for comfort, an integrated armrest and medium jumbo frets. The tuners, bridge pins and pickguard complement the greyburst finish, tying the visual details together in an understated yet elegant way.
Versatile and Expressive
The Taylor T5z provides an inspiring instrument for musicians looking to push creative boundaries. Blending acoustic and electric tones, premium woods selected for resonance and sustain and high-end electronics, this guitar offers a dynamic tool for composition and performance. Play it acoustically, plugged in or a combination of the two—the T5z delivers an array of tones to suit any musical need.
