Taylor T5
Guitar! 5 Way Switch Pickup!
Taylor T5 Acoustic-Electric collaboration An electric guitar has got to be outstanding if triple platinum country music star Taylor Swift and other internationally famous artists such as Mick Jagger, Sting and Aerosmith sing its praises.
And the T5 really is something special. ‘No matter what your tone is today, or where you want to take it tomorrow, the Taylor T5 electric guitar will help you get there,’ according to Taylors Guitars senior product developer David Hosler. The funky electric guitar blurs the line between acoustic and electric, creating a new breed of instrument, which makes the relentless pursuit of innovation feel like a natural continuation. The T5 was born from humble beginnings. When co-founder Bob Taylor was making guitars in back of a service station while filling gas tanks and wiping windscreens more than 30 years ago, he could not have imagined building an electric guitar. But after years of being asked when he was going to produce a solid body electric, Bob took up the challenge and the T5 was born. Taylor Guitars: “A lot can happen in the course of three decades. We listened closely as playing styles evolved and the line between acoustic and electric began to blur.” “We evolved, too. We honed our craft, inventing new pickups and pushing technology into totally new territory. The time for a guitar with real electric and acoustic tones has arrived.”
This electric guitar has been endorsed by such big names as Taylor Swift, Mick Jagger, Sting, Aerosmith and others. The brand is now so popular that a cherry sunburst T5-S signed by rock legend David Gilmour raised £20,000 for the Willow Foundation charity in 2007. The idea was to design a guitar that would perform well through both electric and acoustic amps. Thanks to its humbucking pickups and proprietary body sensor, Taylor's T5 electric guitar produces a versatile range of pure analog tones from strumming acoustic to crunch electric. Available in T5 Standard and T5 Custom configurations, the T5 features sapele back and sides with your choice of spruce, maple, or koa tops as well as stylized f-holes. Also a 5 way switch pickup, electric Nanoweb® coated Elixir® Strings, Taylor T-Lock™ neck joint, and it comes in a variety of sunburst and colored finishes.
