Overview

Versatile acoustic-electric with two pickups and five-way switching.

The Taylor T5z Classic Deluxe cleverly combines the rich, nuanced tone of an all-solid acoustic with the power and playability of an electric guitar. This special edition model features a stunning gloss finish and eye-catching edgeburst treatment on its slim, comfortable body. The tropical mahogany top works with sapele back and sides to produce balanced acoustic resonance. Electric players will love the slim neck with a 12" radius and jumbo frets. The unique T5 pickup system lets you switch between humbuckers and the body sensor to craft acoustic and electric tones. With the T5z Classic Deluxe, you get the best of both worlds in one incredible guitar.

Slim Hybrid Body Provides Acoustic Resonance and Electric Playability

The Taylor T5z Classic Deluxe has a slim, lightweight hybrid body that's comfortable on stage and easy to transport. The sleek cutaway provides smooth access all the way up the neck for solos and riffs. The solid tropical mahogany top works with sapele back and sides to produce impressive acoustic resonance and sustain. The thinline design reduces feedback at higher volumes, giving you the freedom to crank up the gain. The 12" fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets are optimized for fast lead playing. The smooth, slim neck feels natural coming from an electric guitar.

Versatile T5 Pickup System for Acoustic and Electric Tones

The Taylor T5z Classic Deluxe guitar features a versatile pickup system that lets you craft both acoustic and electric tones. It uses an acoustic body sensor to capture the natural resonance of the guitar. Two humbucking pickups located near the neck and bridge deliver those fat, sustaining electric tones. A five-way switch lets you instantly change between the pickups, body sensor and blended combinations. Craft anything from warm, jazzy acoustics to searing rock leads. The preamp includes tone controls to shape your amplified sound.

Premium Tonewoods Create Balanced Acoustic Resonance

This special edition T5z Classic Deluxe uses all solid tonewoods hand-selected for their acoustic properties. The tropical mahogany top produces balanced tone across the tonal spectrum. Sapele back and sides add resonance and projection. Together these premium tonewoods create impressive sustain and organic resonance when playing acoustically. The sapele neck contributes to the balanced tone. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide crisp, articulate notes.
