The Ultimate Acoustic/Electric Hybrid
Meet the Taylor T5z Pro—the guitar that laughs in the face of limitations. This isn’t just an acoustic that plugs in, and it’s not just another electric. It’s a masterfully crafted hybrid that delivers a stunning range of tones, from glassy acoustic shimmer to full-throttle electric scream, all from a single instrument. The gorgeous Harbor Blue Big Leaf Maple top isn’t just for looks; it provides a bright, articulate foundation for your sound. Paired with a lightweight and comfortable hollowbody design, this guitar is built for long nights on stage and endless hours in the studio.
Shape-Shifting Sonics
The magic of the T5z Pro lies in its innovative three-pickup system. You get a concealed neck humbucker for warmth and body, a visible bridge humbucker for that classic electric bite, and a dynamic body sensor that captures the guitar’s natural acoustic resonance. A 5-way switch lets you fly between sounds instantly. Position 1 gives you the neck humbucker and body sensor for rich, round acoustic tones. Position 2 isolates the neck humbucker for that buttery jazz and blues feel. Position 3 combines both humbuckers for a full, fiery electric sound. Position 4 pairs the humbuckers in parallel for a funky, spanky vibe. And Position 5 unleashes the bridge humbucker for searing leads and crunchy rhythms. It’s a whole pedalboard’s worth of sounds before you even touch a stompbox.
Effortless Playability
Taylor built the T5z with the electric player in mind. The T5 carve neck profile is slim and fast, feeling instantly familiar and comfortable. The West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard is loaded with 21 jumbo frets and features a 12″ radius, making big bends and slick lead lines feel absolutely effortless. The Venetian cutaway provides total access to the upper frets, and the integral armrest and rounded body edges mean you can play for hours without fatigue. This is a true player’s guitar, designed to get out of the way and let your creativity flow.
