Description

The Taylor T5 Custom Koa is a groundbreaking masterpiece that bridges the gap between acoustic and electric guitars, offering an expansive range of sonic possibilities. With its sleek, semi-hollowbody design inspired by Taylor's iconic Grand Auditorium silhouette, the T5 Custom Koa is crafted for versatility and performance. Whether you're plugged into an acoustic or electric amp, this guitar adapts seamlessly, delivering rich, resonant tones suitable for any musical style.

Underneath its beautiful Koa top, the T5 Custom features a trio of innovative pickups: the T5 CMR air-coil rear pickup for electric amp performance, the T5 Dynamic neck pickup for warm and woody tones, and the T5 Dynamic body sensor for capturing acoustic-like shimmer. The 5-way switching system empowers you to explore a multitude of tones, from smooth acoustic warmth to gritty electric power, all controlled effortlessly via the onboard preamp and EQ.

The T5 Custom Koa’s playability is unmatched, thanks to its comfortable sapele hollowbody and a Tropical American mahogany neck. The shortened scale length ensures an easy play across the fingerboard, whether you're strumming chords or fingerpicking intricate melodies. Its f-holes not only add an aesthetic touch but also enhance the guitar's natural resonance, making it a joy to play.

  • Innovative hybrid design blending acoustic and electric guitar capabilities
