A fully-hollow, thinline body is the backbone of Taylor's first-ever electric guitar. Designed to be equally comfortable played through both electric and acoustic amps, the T5 offers a versatile range of pure analog tones, from strumming acoustic to crunch electric -- and everything in between. A spruce top and 5-way pickup are standard, along with microdot fretboard inlays and chrome hardware.

A lot can happen in the course of 3 decades. They listened closely as playing styles evolved and the line between acoustic and electric began to blur. They evolved, too. Taylor honed their craft, inventing new pickups and pushing technology into totally new territory. The time for a guitar with real electric and acoustic tones has arrived.
Beginning with a fully-hollow thinline body that makes your acoustic tone authentic, they designed the Taylor T5 to perform equally well through both electric and acoustic amps.
