T5 Custom

T5-C
The spruce-top T5 Custom is finished in upscale gold trim (except blue-stained models) and features our intricate mother-of-pearl "Artist" inlays. Available in a variety of natural, solid, sunburst, translucent, and metallic finishes.

T5-C1
A figured flame maple top adds another flavor of tone and another dimension in looks. The mother-of-pearl "Artist" inlay is standard, along with gold hardware (except blue-stained models). Available in a variety of natural, sunburst, metallic, and translucent finishes.

T5-C2
Exotic tops say it all on the T5-C2. Koa comes standard, but "standard" is hardly the way to describe this rare, radiant hardwood. Other exotics are available from time to time too, including Macassar ebony, cocobolo, rosewood, and others. Available in natural with shaded edge.
