Brand New

Description & Specs

This addition to the T5z Classic family highlights a visually stunning top wood that brings a new level of aesthetic beauty to our hybrid hollowbody guitars. Blackheart sassafras lends a striking, naturally variegated look atop this T5z model, with striping and grain accentuated by a dark edgeburst finish treatment that covers the entire body. Musically, this guitar boasts a three-pickup configuration consisting of two humbuckers and an acoustic body sensor, with a five-way switch that allows you to shape your tone across both the acoustic and electric end of the spectrum. Appointments for this model aim to showcase the natural traits of blackheart sassafras, with an unbound body and a pair of F-holes accentuated by Small Diamond fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, satin black tuners and a satin finish. It ships with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

Impressively Versatile

I am so impressed with this guitar and can not stop playing it. It's just a pleasure in more ways than I would have thought. I have been playing guitar in a variety of genres for decades and have a nice collection. Since I have eased out of playing in bands and more focused on an acoustic electric solo act, I have tried a number of different combinations of guitars, pickups, mics, and set-ups to find the sound I hear in my head over the past few years. This was the missing piece. And, it not only does an excellent job with the acoustic electric task, it does surprisingly well in a strictly electric gig, too. Why I don't see more of these on stage I will never know now that I have played one. It won't do what a good Strat, P-90s, or nice humbuckers will do but it has its own sound that is really nice. It does better pulling off electric tones than electric guitars I've played pulling off acoustic tones. I love the neck probably better than all but two of my other guitars (although I had to do a quick light rub on the neck with #00 steel wool to knock off some shop dust stuck in the finish: now it's perfect!). The scale length and string tension is just right for me. It's even pretty nice just acoustically when practicing. This is my third Taylor and I can't say enough good things about the ones I have. This is a keeper!

We're right off the CTA Brown Line 'Paulina' Stop Just North of Belmont and just West of Ashland.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts! If you have any questions, we’re here for you!
