Thirty years ago, Taylor wouldn't have imagined building an electric guitar. Now, after a relentless pursuit of innovation, the Taylor T5 represents the next natural step for Taylor. A lot can happen in the course of three decades. Taylor listened closely as playing styles evolved and the line between acoustic and electric began to blur. Taylor honed their craft, inventing new pickups and pushing technology into totally new territory. The time for a guitar with real electric and acoustic tones has arrived.
Beginning with a fully-hollow thinline body that makes your acoustic tone authentic, Taylor designed the Taylor T5 to perform equally well through both electric and acoustic amps.
Thanks to its humbucking pickups and proprietary body sensor, the T5 produces a versatile range of pure analog tones from strumming acoustic to crunch electric and everything in between. No catches, no compromises. One flick of its five-way switch and you're on your way.
Available in T5 Standard and T5 Custom configurations, the T5 features sapele back and sides with your choice of spruce, maple, or koa tops as well as stylized f-holes, 5-way pickup, electric Nanoweb® coated Elixir® Strings, Taylor T-Lock™ neck joint, and a variety of sunburst and colored finishes.
What's your tone today? Where do you want to take it tomorrow? Wherever you're going, the Taylor T5 will help you get there.
