Sapele Body/Maple Top
A sapele body provides the ideal tonal and structural properties that enable the T5 to perform in both acoustic and electric environments. For this model we substitute a figured maple top for extra sizzle and style. Because the T5 is a true hollowbody, the maple top acts as a soundboard that helps shape its versatile range of tones.
T5 Thinline
Truly designed with the player in mind, the T5's thinline, fully-hollow body is sleek and comfortable. At 2.35 inches deep, the T5’s subtle body contours are a testament to the detail and care that shape its design.
T5 Electronics
The T5 uses a combination of proprietary pickups for a versatile range of acoustic and electric sounds. A hidden neck pickup and visible bridge pickup take advantage of the latest technology, utilizing Samarium Cobalt magnets and humbucking coils. A sensor reads the movement of the top, adding even more warmth to your acoustic tone. Toggle between pickup/sensor combinations via the 5-way switch for an impressive range of acoustic and electric tones.
Gloss Top, Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
T5 "Artist" Inlay
Set in abalone and mother-of-pearl, the T5 Custom’s Artist inlay is an elegant contribution to its striking appearance.
