The Taylor T5Z Classic electric guitar is the latest hybrid from Taylor that delivers a perfect blend of acoustic and electric functionality - all in a newly pared down, electric style body that's infinitely versatile. If you have to load up several guitars for your gigs, the T5Z can lighten your load considerably. Its unique pickups - 2 electric and 1 acoustic, include a visible bridge humbucker, concealed neck humbucker, and an acoustic body sensor, as well as a five-way toggle switch, tone and volume controls. The crisp sounding Tropical Mahogany top with resonant Sapele back and sides flawlessly give you acoustic tones with electric in a guitar that gives you everything from real folk to jazz to full on crunching rock.  You have an instrument that's easy to control and blend - you'll soon find it to be totally indispensable and be blown away by how it opens up your playing and songwriting.

The body on this T5Z is significantly slimmed down - it feels like a Les Paul without the weight. The lower bout is just 14" across - a full two inches less than the classic T5. The more compact body feels fantastic. This also has nice details like a faster Ebony fingerboard with a 12" radius and 21 Jumbo-sized frets, allowing for beautifully easy bending and playability. This Taylor T5Z Classic is a great on-the-go guitar that delivers, no matter what your gig. Includes a Taylor T5Z gig bag and full set up to your specs from our luthiers.
