Taylor T5 Standard
The T5 is Taylor's first-ever electric guitar. Built like an acoustic guitar with a fully-hollow thinline body, the T5 is designed to be equally comfortable played through both electric and acoustic amps. The T5 has a versatile range of pure analog tones, from strumming acoustic to crunch electric—and everything in between.
Woods
A sapele body provides the ideal tonal and structural properties that enable the T5 to perform in both acoustic and electric environments. Because the T5 is a true hollowbody, the Sitka spruce or available maple top acts as a soundboard that helps shape its versatile range of tones.
