T5 12-String

The T5 12-string features Taylor’s innovative compensated saddle design, which solves the playing challenges inherent in many electric 12-strings. The saddle compensation effectively “levels” the fundamental and octave strings, allowing for a smooth, even attack that makes every T5 12-string supremely playable. It’s a feature you won’t find on any other electric 12-string and one that will transform your playing expectations. The T5 12-string is available as a counterpart to all 6-string Classic, Standard and Custom models.
