T5-S Colors
T5-S1 Colors
SHARE
T5 Standard
T5-S
Chrome sets the tone for the T5-S, in the form of the tuners and pickup hardware. A spruce top meets up with the sapele body, while microdot inlays run the fretboard. Available in a variety of natural, solid, sunburst, translucent, and metallic finishes.
T5-S1
A maple top is the defining difference on the T5-S1. Maple adds a bit more sizzle, creating a slightly brighter tone overall. Dot inlays and chrome hardware are standard features. Available in a variety of natural, sunburst, and translucent finishes.
Features
Pickups
Thanks to its humbucking pickups and proprietary body sensor, the T5 produces a versatile range of pure analog tones from strumming acoustic to crunchy electric and everything in between.

5-way Switching
From acoustic tones to '50s hollowbody with a slight scoop to a full and bright electric sound that's great for thick lead tones, you¹ll get it all with a flick of the T5 switch.
more >
Neck
We wrote the book on straight, easy-playing necks. Our innovative T-Lock™ neck joint brings Taylor's trademark consistency and comfort into the T5 player's hands.
more >
Controls
The T5 electronics were inspired by the revolutionary Taylor Expression System®, and then were custom designed to bring out the best electric and acoustic tones from the guitar.
more >
The Hybrid Body
The T5 features a fully hollow body and an active soundboard with a compound radius.
