T5 Models

T5 Custom

Our top-of-the-line T5 Custom is the embodiment of performance and art, with upscale gold trim (chrome on blue-stained models) and elegantly-detailed “Spire” inlays. Opt for a spruce top or up the ante with an exotic hardwood top of maple, Hawaiian koa, cocobolo, walnut, or Macassar ebony. 

T5 Standard

Chrome sets the tone for the T5 Standard, in the form of the tuners and pickup hardware. A spruce or maple top meets up with the sapele body, while microdot inlays run the fretboard. Available in a variety of natural, solid, sunburst, and translucent finishes. 

T5 Classic

T5 performance and versatility meet an earthy, uncomplicated design at our most affordable price. The T5 Classic features an ovangkol top, chrome hardware, diamond-shaped fretboard inlays, full T5 electronics, and a Taylor Gig Bag.

T5 12-String

The T5 12-string features Taylor’s innovative Dual 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.
