Standard Pickups
Position 1
Under-Fretboard Humbucker and Body Sensor in series
Activating the hidden neck pickup and body sensor, Position 1 is where you'll find the most acoustic-like tones.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean only (to prevent high-gain feedback in this position).

Position 2
Under-Fretboard Humbucker
The body sensor is switched off, leaving only the neck pickup active and yielding warm, round tones.
This is a great position for solos and a good place to experiment with the tone controls. Try rolling
back the Treble knob for darker tones.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean or Electric/overdrive.

Position 3
Bridge Humbucker
We move into the bridge pickup zone and one of the most versatile tonal ranges. Position 3 will
go from "spanky" and clean, all the way to "full-tilt crunch." Start out with the Volume at the
detent (center) then roll it up to "push" the amp.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.

Position 4
Bridge Humbucker and Under-Fretboard Humbucker in parallel
The neck pickup is re-activated and runs in parallel with the bridge pickup. You might find it
reminiscent of a '50s hollowbody with a slight scoop. In Position 4 you'll find one of many unique T5 tones.
Suggested Amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.

Position 5
Bridge Humbucker and Under-Fretboard Humbucker in series
The neck and bridge pickups are now running in series, creating a full and bright sound that's great
for thick lead tones. Change the Volume settings and watch its "personality" change.
Suggested Amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.
Dual Top-Mounted Humbuckers
Position 1
Under-Fretboard Humbucker and Neck Humbucker in series
The body sensor is replaced by a visible Neck Humbucker that, when combined with the invisible Under-Fretboard
Humbucker, creates tones that are warm, round, full and fat. You’ll find that this position makes the T5 sound even bigger than it is.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.
