Taylor T5z Pro Acoustic

Some guitarists carry multiple instruments to cover all their sonic bases. Others find one versatile tool that does it all exceptionally well. Taylor's T5z Pro represents the latter approach - a hybrid instrument that truly merges electric and acoustic worlds without compromise.

Here's the challenge Taylor solved: how do you create authentic acoustic tones and convincing electric sounds in a single guitar that doesn't feel like a compromise? The answer lies in three distinct pickup systems working together. You've got a concealed neck humbucker and visible bridge humbucker delivering impressive electric guitar tones, while an acoustic body sensor system - inspired by Taylor's acclaimed Expression amplification - captures breathtaking acoustic sounds with sparkling highs and natural shimmer.

That five-way selector gives you the creative flexibility serious players need. Full electric, full acoustic, or hybrid combinations with onboard bass, treble, and volume controls that actually make sense. The relocated control knobs make tone adjustments effortless during performance - no more awkward reaching.

The comfort-focused upgrades show Taylor's attention to real-world playing needs. That lightweight Urban Ash body with Big Leaf Maple top provides resonance without weight fatigue. The integral armrest takes the edge off the upper bout, while rounded body edges feel natural against your picking arm. The hollowbody design draws from Taylor's Grand Auditorium acoustic shape but with reduced depth, giving you resonant acoustic-like feel in a guitar that handles like a solidbody electric.

Those stylish F-holes aren't just decoration - they enhance body chamber resonance and let the top breathe, capturing performance dynamics. This guitar works equally well through electric or acoustic amplifiers, opening genuine musical possibilities rather than forcing sonic compromises.
