This has become my A guitar and I have an array of beautiful instruments. If you're will one to take the time to ferret out the tones use an ABY switch a good acoustic amp (Marshall as100d) and a good electric amp PRS Combo 30 watt. . I use a different effects loop for each amp but you get so many sounds you simply can't get from any other guitar and switching between acoustic and electric on the fly is very handy. The Marshall has a great DI built in the PRS I mike and run both through a Bose L 1 model two system to spread the sound out to 180 degrees and you get a perfect recreation that way. The guitar is light on the neck and back, never feeds back and I just find myself picking up the Gibson PRS and Strat less and less. If I could only keep one of them it would be the T5 . Like I said it takes time to find all the sounds it can produce but once you do you have a very powerful tool in your arsenal.
