There’s a New Hollowbody in Town

One look at the stunning Taylor T5z Classic Koa, and you know you’re in for a treat. From its drop-dead gorgeous visuals and flawless playability to its sumptuous sonics, this special hollowbody electric just begs to be played. The magic starts with premium tonewoods: a stunningly figured koa top, stunning sapele sides and back, and a smooth-as-glass ebony fingerboard with low action and jumbo frets. Solidbody electric players will feel right at home, and acoustic players will wonder why they’ve been working so hard. Check out the beautiful Taylor T5z Classic Koa. Trust us — you’ll be hooked!

There are electric guitars, there are acoustic guitars; then there’s the Taylor T5z Classic. Sweetwater’s guitar pickers are big fans of Taylor’s T5 Thinline acoustic-electric. With the T5z Classic, Taylor gives you even more features that will make you feel right at home if you’re coming from a solidbody electric. They’ve thinned out the body even more, and spec’d the silky ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch radius and jumbo frets to make string bending even easier. And the range of available sounds? Far beyond what we’ve come to expect from traditional acoustic or electric guitars. With the T5z Classic, there’s no limit to your sonic possibilities!

Acoustic or electric: you decide

Actually, it’s both. The Taylor T5z Classic allows you to get fully acoustic sounds and fully electric sounds from the same guitar. Seamlessly. It’s designed to be used with both acoustic and electric amps using a standard guitar cable or a balanced cable. Think about what an amazing advantage that is when you’re performing! If you’re primarily a solidbody slinger, you’ll particularly appreciate the T5z’s fast sapele neck. If you’re in the mood for shredding, the shortened scale length and jumbo frets ensure a fingerboard (ebony) that is endlessly pleasurable to play with either electric or acoustic strings.

Next-generation electronics

The Taylor T5z Classic Koa features a whole new generation of electronics. Tones are selected via the easy-access 5-way switch located on the side of the guitar. Two pickups — a concealed neck humbucker and a visible bridge humbucker — produce a truly impressive range of electric guitar tone while the acoustic body sensor system delivers breathtaking acoustic sounds. Inspired by the research on the Expression System, the T5z body sensors are overwound to produce sparkling highs and shimmer for the most acoustic-like switch position. The T5z Classic Koa’s preamp was designed to deliver a wide range of tones in every switch position. Controls include Volume, Bass, and Treble.

Sleek, comfortable, resonant body

Inspired by the Taylor Grand Auditorium silhouette, the T5z Classic Koa features a sleek and comfortable-to-hold carved hollowbody of sapele. Like all Taylor guitars, a custom-voiced soundboard is the heart of the T5z tone; the koa top creates a strong, colorful voice with prodigious sustain. Finally, stylized F-holes command the eye and enhance the resonance of the body chamber, allowing the top to breathe and capture the dynamics of your performances.
