The Acoustic-Electric Chameleon
Meet the Taylor T5z Classic Rosewood—a guitar that gracefully walks the line between the acoustic and electric worlds. This isn’t just a hollowbody with a pickup; it’s a meticulously designed instrument that delivers a stunning range of tones, from glassy acoustic shimmer to snarling electric grit. The Shaded Edgeburst finish over the rosewood top gives it a dusky, sophisticated vibe that’s impossible to ignore. It’s a true swiss-army-knife guitar for the discerning player who needs it all in one package.
Three Pickups, Endless Possibilities
Here’s where the magic happens. Taylor engineered a unique three-pickup system for the T5z, featuring an acoustic body sensor, a concealed neck humbucker, and a visible bridge humbucker. A five-way switch lets you instantly move between them. Position 1 gives you the crisp, resonant voice of the acoustic sensor. Positions 2-4 blend the pickups for a universe of hybrid tones—think warm, round jazz sounds or punchy rock rhythms. Position 5 unleashes the bridge humbucker for pure, unapologetic electric power. It’s an entire rig under your fingertips.
Electric Feel, Acoustic Soul
The T5z was built for comfort and speed. The T5 Carve neck profile feels instantly familiar to electric players, while the 24-7/8″ scale length and jumbo frets make bending strings a buttery-smooth experience. The compact, thinline body is lightweight and balanced, perfect for long nights on stage. It’s a guitar that responds to your every move, whether you’re fingerpicking delicate passages or digging in with a pick for a searing solo.
