Merge the best in Taylor construction with cutting-edge electronics in the T5X Classic. Outstanding wood selection highlights this unique instrument.
The Taylor T5X -- or T5 Classic -- is a definitive best-of-both-worlds instrument. Combining prized Taylor acoustic construction and with an innovative three-pickup electronic system, the T5X offers an extremely open-ended set of tones to explore. A comfortable thinline body, ovangkol soundboard, and ebony fretboard give the T5X stunning looks and superb natural sound. Excellently suited for jazz, folk, blues, rock, country and more, the T5 Classic is a stellar choice for guitarists who want it all.
Versatile Three-Pickup Electronic System
Like the rest of the Taylor T5 series, the T5 Classic reaps its vast tonal variety from a flexible three-pickup configuration. A T5 body sensor pickup (similar to the Expression System body pickup found on Taylor acoustics) lies beneath the soundboard in the lower bout of the body, and does an outstanding job capturing the organic acoustic tones of the wood. Above the bridge, a single stacked humbucker yields more electric-like timbres for everything from '50s country twang, to explosive modern rock sounds. Rounding out the pickup set is a second stacked humbucker hidden at the neck joint which delivers an excellent cross-section of warm jazz and rootsy blues-like flavors. Taylor has outfitted this guitar with an onboard EQ and a five-way pickup selector to help you explore a massive palette of tones from traditional Taylor acoustic textures to all-out solidbody sizzle. Isolate the body sensor pickup and strum with the full-bodied tones of a Taylor acoustic-electric, or try the bridge pickup alone for more rock-like tones. The T5 even offers a choice of running the two forward pickups series or parallel for an even broader selection of electric styles.
Tonewoods and Body Design
The Taylor T5X features sapele back and sides with a gorgeous ovangkol top. A close relative of rosewood, ovangkol yields similar depth and complexity in its sound, which adds much to the T5X's broad tonal range. Like all Taylors, this guitar includes a genuine ebony fingerboard, which -- combined with the comfortable thinline body style -- makes the T5X an absolute delight to play. A pair of stylish soundholes not only look fantastic, but also add to the guitar's resonance by allowing the cavity to breathe more openly.
