Product Description

An African relative of rosewood, Ovangkol lends rosewood-inspired sonic properties to the Taylor T5 Classic (T5-X). The result is a full acoustic midrange with bright trebles that are accentuated by the T5's fully-hollow design. Then switch to the T5's electric side and discover just how versatile a guitar can be. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Taylor products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (1 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "A Beautiful Guitar but it takes some patience"
Overall: When I first received the Taylor I was less than impressed by the acoustic sound. I came very close to returning it but lo and behold it just took getting used to to get an awesome sound. I recommend an ABY switching box (I use the Tonebone Twin City) and a good acoustic preamp (BBE Acoustimax). You really need to be able to tweak the mids for a good acoustic tone. I also replaced the standard Elixir electric strings with DR Zebra Medium acoustic electric strings and wow, what a difference. I also needed to spring for a $125 professional setup to get the neck adjusted but guitar plays perfect now. Add in the SKB 35 Semi Hollow hard case which fits the T5 like a glove and you are in business. Was not really comfortable hauling around a $1500 guitar in a soft case, although the Taylor soft case is nice.
