The Taylor T5-S 6-String guitar features chrome tuners and pickup hardware, spruce top, sapele body and microdot inlays on the fretboard.
When the Taylor T5-S hit the market in 2005, the music industry press nominated it for Electric Guitar of the Year. And Acoustic Guitar of the Year. Which pretty much sums it all up: the Taylor T5-S is an electric/acoustic that defines the hybrid category.
The versatile Taylor T5-S is the top-selling semi-hollow body guitar and the only one that uses all-magnetic pickups for both its electric and acoustic tones. That means real acoustic tones, real electric tones, and everything in between. The T5 also features proprietary Taylor pickups, 5-Way switch, and Taylor T-Lock neck joint.
Thanks to its humbucking pickups and proprietary body sensor, the Taylor T5-S produces a versatile range of pure analog tones from strumming acoustic to crunchy electric and everything in between.
The Taylor T5-S electronics were inspired by the revolutionary Taylor Expression System, and then were custom designed to bring out the best electric and acoustic tones from the guitar.
