Quality craftsmanship
It's a real beauty. The T5z Custom K boasts the finest attention to detail you will ever see in a guitar. Made to unique specifications, it's an instrument which was designed to be played with passion and energy – it'll be the star of any live show. Being fully customised to deliver the perfect playing experience, you'll never look back once you've got it in your hands. It's for those who simply love guitar.
A trio of tone
Sheer sonic excellence. The three pickups inside this guitar give it a supremely dynamic and inspiring sound. You can switch between an acoustic body sensor, concealed neck humbucker, and visible bridge humbucker. Each offers its own individual qualities – the bridge pickup is punchy and bright, the neck is warm and rich, the body sensor brings out every detail of your natural acoustic sound and resonance.
With these pickups at your side, you can experiment with your sound and get it exactly the way you desire. Five way switching also lets you try different combinations for even greater tonal diversity.
Koa magic
You can’t beat Hawaiian koa. As a tonewood, it gives this guitar a beautiful brightness and midrange punch which ensures it will always be heard. It also has plenty of top end sparkle for a crispness and tightness which resonates powerfully. You'll love the way the figured koa top of this guitar brings your music to life, and projects each note you play with volume. It's truly outstanding.
Singing sapele neck
A treat to your ears. Coming with a sapele neck, the T5z offers a supreme playing experience. Tonally warm, but with a little extra top end bite compared to mahogany, it evens out some of the brightness of the koa top. It's also incredibly smooth to the touch – your hand will sail along its surface. When you’re playing this finely crafted neck, you'll never go short of inspiration as your playing is liberated.
Fretting freedom
Ebony. It's undoubtedly one of the most sought-after fretboard woods for guitarists. Its powerfully punchy resonance and luscious, dark look make it easy to see why. On this guitar, it offers a smoothness and tone which make it a dream to play. Complementing every aspect of this guitar's sound and feel, you'll find that it gives you everything you need to play in comfort and style.
Gleaming hardware
It's totally shipshape. The wealth of quality hardware on this guitar gives you everything you need to keep it in perfect working order. From the sturdy ebony bridge pins to the classy gold Taylor tuning machines, everything helps keep this guitar in tune perfectly. A bone nut and saddle also help support the strings, giving this guitar the optimal resonance and power. Coming with luxurious white binding, a stunning, rich natural finish, and a hardshell case for safe transportation, this guitar is one of a kind.
