Taylor T5 Thinline Fiveway Custom Koa Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)
Hawaiian Koa top. Versatile range of electric and acoustic tones.
"Brilliantly crafted guitar"
Feature:
Responsive controls to control piezo and humbucker pickups. Two strap studs on base for some reason.
Quality:
Beatiful quality and finish. Lovely koa pattern which will make each guitar unique. Totally professional fretboard and inlay finishing and solid lacquering. Good machine heads which hold the guitar in tune. Access panel at back is a bit crude and plastic, but you don't see it and it is functional. White trim along neck and f-holes is spot on.
Value:
Expensive but great value. It not only plays great but is also a work of art and a great investment.
Desirability:
I wanted a standard T5 to try and save some money but the dealer put the custom koa into my hands (smart move) and that was it. I found the extra money and haven't looked back. I would not pay this much for something that looked fantastic but didn't play well. The T5 delivers on both fronts and even non-guitarists drop their jaw at it.
Sound:
Fantastic amplified acoustic tones and rich electric sounds due to versatile selector switch and very responsive treble/bass/volume controls. I'm playing through an old Roland DX50 amp at the moment (not acoustic) and the sounds are great, although I will be researching acoustic amps in the near future to analyze the sound differences. Great for fast fingerwork or strumming.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to pick up and play. Beautiful fretboard with low action though my only slight niggle would be that both top and bottom e-strings are slightly too close to the edge of the fretboard and can occasionally slip over when the guitar is played in a more aggressive manner. CD with 2 Taylor guys explaining the main features is very useful but there are so many sound variations and combinations that there will be something to suit everyone.
Support:
Not needed
Overall:
This is the best (and most expensive) guitar I own. I intend to keep this to hand on to my son as an example of a brilliantly crafted guitar.

"taylor T5 Koa literally a trip to the islands"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:the five way switch and the incredibly responsive tone knobs give me all the unique sounds I could ask for gives me all the flexibility
Quality:
vert well done and solid has a typical Taylor feel I imagine it will still be playing when I'm dead and gone
Value:
yea it's worth the price but the rarity still keeps the price high and thta's probably intentional it's not like Bob is making each one by hand. it costs about what a week in Hawaii would cost and it comes home with me
Desirability:
great guitar like I said best stage appeal in the guitar lineup today and plays so well can't be beat
Sound:
great tone and incredible flexibility I play this throa a taylor K4 preamp and a Bose sytem and it's incredible it takes the place of three guitars and plays with an electrics feel and a accoustic warmth
Support:
who knows the guitars are so well made and perform so well I've never even tried to call them
Overall:
the best actually liked it so much I did buy a second one in black to practice on and haul around with me saving the koa for performing and studio only.
"Years of planning equals 5 Star quality guitar!"

Imagine the possibilities! I use a Marshall electric amp and a Behringer Accoustic amp which combined with the 5 pick-up settings results in a wide array of sounds.
Quality:
Well built, and will last a lifetime with the usual TLC attributed to an instrument such as this.
Value:
Priceey yes... but quality workmanship always is.
Desirability:

Support:
No need for it yet. I also own a 514-CE (Walnut)
Overall:
