Overview
T5z Classic DLX
This deluxe edition of our hybrid hollowbody electric T5z Classic features aesthetic upgrades that elevate its visual profile, such as a full-body gloss finish and a subtle edgeburst color treatment. Sonically, the T5z Classic packs a full tonal range into a compact body, making use of two humbuckers, an acoustic body sensor and a five-way switch to produce richly textured sounds that span the spectrum from electric to acoustic. The fast-playing neck features jumbo frets and a smooth 12" radius that will feel especially welcoming to players accustomed to an acoustic fretboard. This model ships with a lightweight, sturdy AeroCase.

Questions & Answers
Preguntas frecuentes
13 questions
What specific pickup and sensor combinations does each position of the 5 way switch do?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Show all 13 questions
Are guitars ordered directly through Taylor set up? Are they checked for string buzzing, etc?
Yes. Every Taylor Guitar is set to our factory specifications and inspected.
What is an aero case?
A lightweight hard case with the features of a gig bag.
Some one sat on my guitar and broke the neck☹️ Can I get a replacement neck for a T5z pro ? I understand that the warranty will not cover the replacement neck.
Not directly, no. Give us a call at 1-800-943-6782 and we will see what options are available.
Does the T5 have stainless steel frets?
No, we use nickel/silver frets.
What manufacturer and model strings come on this?
We're currently installing Elixir electric medium gauge strings, 11-49.
Does this come with stereo output for separating the acoustic sounds from the electric sounds?
No it doesn't. We're seeing more players prefer a mono output to an amp modeler/effects unit in which acoustic and electric stereo patches can be selected. For some players it means not needing to lug two amplifiers to a gig.
Can I get one in a left-handed version?
Yes, all T5z models are available in left-handed at no extra charge.
Are the tone controls active?
Yes, the treble and bass controls are active, and they provide a diverse range of sounds so you can really sculpt your tones.
