T5 Custom
The vintage beauty of a shaded edgeburst Hawaiian koa top gives each T5 Custom a classic island vibe. Our versatile hollowbody hybrid is equipped with a three-pickup setup featuring an acoustic body sensor, a concealed neck humbucker, and a visible bridge humbucker, plus five-way switching and onboard tone controls, giving players an electric/acoustic guitar with a sweeping range of tones. Gold hardware, white binding and Taylor’s progressive Spires fretboard inlay add sharp complementary touches. The guitar ships in a T5 hardshell case.
