The innovative Taylor T5z Custom acoustic-electric guitar opens up a world of musical possibilities. Crafted with a stunning figured koa top and urban ash back and sides, this semi-hollowbody electric guitar blends acoustic and electric tones into one versatile instrument. Whether you want to replicate the warmth of an acoustic or push into overdriven rock territory, the T5z Custom has you covered.

Fast, Comfortable Neck Inspires Fluid Playing

The T5z Custom's neck is designed for speed and comfort. The T5z neck shape and 1.6875" nut width feel familiar and fast. The glossy ebony fingerboard and 21 medium frets also aid effortless transitions across the neck. Whether you prefer acoustic fingerpicking or shredding electric solos, this neck accommodates various techniques.

Hybrid Pickup System Provides Versatile Tone

At the heart of the T5z Custom's varied voice are three pickups: an acoustic body sensor, a neck humbucker and a bridge humbucker. With a five-way switch, you can select from searing electric leads to mellow acoustic textures and everything in between. The guitar's hollow build and choice tonewoods also contribute resonance for a full, natural acoustic tone. This hybrid system makes the T5z Custom ideal for playing through either acoustic or electric guitar amps.

Striking Looks Complement Exceptional Tone

With its figured koa top, F-holes and acrylic pearl inlays, the T5z Custom is as visually stunning as it sounds. The koa's dramatic grain patterns and warm, reddish hue give this guitar a luxurious appearance. Gold tuners and a subtle edgeburst finish provide an elegant final touch. Overall, the T5z Custom's blend of tonewoods and high-end components results in an instrument that looks and sounds like no other.
