The Taylor T5z Pro in Tobacco Sunburst features an elegant body shape that closely resembles that of an acoustic guitar in a compact size giving you a more ergonomic feel. Boasting a full hollowbody construction, the Taylor T5z Classic projects plenty of natural volume and has the reassuring resonance you’d expect from a typical acoustic instrument.
While the Taylor T5z Classic’s body has an acoustic-like shape, its Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck would feel far more familiar to electric players with its contemporary profile. Thinner than you’d expect with a traditional acoustic – the ‘T5 Carve’ is supremely comfortable, with its 12″-radius West African Ebony fingerboard also flatter than you’d find with most acoustics. Jumbo frets are another modern touch, giving you greater control over strings bends and vibrato, while the neck’s smooth satin finish offers a fast and non-sticky feel.
Like all T5z models, the Exotic Classic comes equipped with Taylor’s proprietary three-pickup configuration and five-way switching capability – allowing players to move from warm amplified acoustic sounds to fiery electric tones with the flick of the wrist!
The Taylor T5z’s angled bridge pickup may look like a single-coil, but it’s actually a humbucker that provides a thick and powerful sound. This is paired with an additional humbucker in the neck position that is discreetly installed beneath the top. The Taylor T5Z can therefore cope well with overdrive and even distortion, with Taylor’s unique body design ensuring that feedback is kept to a minimum.
Key Features
- Electro-Acoustic Versatility – The ergonomic acoustic body provides natural acoustic tones, with the feel and playability of an electric guitar giving you the best of both worlds.
- T5 Carve Neck Profile – Contemporary and comfortable, the thinner neck profile allows you to play for longer presenting the ability for controlled bends and vibrato not normally found on acoustic guitars.
- T5z Pickups and Internal Body Sensor – A humbucker that harnesses the capability for a fat and powerful sound that maintains natural acoustic projection; picking up the vibrations of the body and converting it into an output frequency for accurate, warm tones.
