A versatile semi-hollowbody guitar blending acoustic and electric tones.
The Taylor T5z Pro acoustic-electric guitar gives you an instrument for any musical situation. Crafted with premium tonewoods like Urban Ash and Big Leaf maple and loaded with three proprietary pickups, the T5z Pro lets you effortlessly switch between shimmering acoustic tones and fiery electric leads. With its chamfered edges, integrated armrest and fast ebony fingerboard, the T5z Pro offers playing comfort for hours of practice or performance.
Hybrid Body Style for Versatile Tone
The T5z Pro's semi-hollowbody construction produces acoustic-like resonance with an electric guitar's playability. Its Urban Ash body and figured Big Leaf maple top vibrate freely, projecting your notes with warmth and depth. When amplified, the T5z Pro delivers the articulate sound serious musicians crave. The three pickups—an acoustic body sensor, concealed neck humbucker and visible bridge humbucker—provide tonal options from crisp acoustic textures to searing electric leads. Controlled with five-way switching, you can quickly change sounds for any song.
Fast, Comfortable Neck
A fast-playing ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets make the T5z Pro's neck ideal for both acoustic fingerpicking and electric shredding. Its slim profile feels familiar to electric players yet provides ample surface for complex chords. The jumbo frets' height aids in vibrato and string bending. Fluid transitions between acoustic and electric styles are seamless thanks to this versatile neck.
Tonal Flexibility Through Advanced Electronics
With three pickups and active tone circuitry, the T5z Pro delivers unparalleled tonal control. An acoustic body sensor captures the natural acoustic voice. A concealed neck humbucker provides warmth while a bridge humbucker yields crispness. Five-way switching selects pickups individually or in combination. Bass, mid and treble controls help you shape the acoustic and magnetic voices to taste. You have a vast tonal palette for crafting your signature sound.
Premium Components for Flawless Playability
Taylor crafted the T5z Pro for professional-grade playability that inspires your creativity. Its fast ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets make solos and chords glide under your fingers. The chamfered body edges, integrated armrest and lightweight build offer hours of playing comfort. Taylor's signature neck profile gives you speed and precision. Overall, the premium components of the T5z Pro let you focus on your playing rather than the instrument itself.
