Most of us know the standard formula for acoustic-electric guitars, but what about - as Taylor proudly describes it - an “electric-acoustic hybrid”? Between two humbuckers (one of which is hidden beneath the guitar’s figured maple top), a body sensor, and premier electronic voicing options, the T5z Pro delivers an unmatched marriage of acoustic and electric sonic sensibilities endorsed by many arena-sized acts, including Iron & Wine. If you’re looking to be swayed by the soothing sounds of the T5z Pro, Don Carr has things covered with the beautiful Grape Vine-finished hybrid guitar, available only at Sweetwater. Take a listen!

I want me a gf who will buy me one of these

[@DavidJNann]

Yes, great finish, very interested 🎶👍

[@GLBProductions]

Hey Sweetwater, at 02:19 I'm pretty sure that position 1 on the T5Z is all the way forwards (towards the top of the screen) and not towards the bottom as you have it annotated 🙂

[@ralphpezda6523]

I would also like to hear it: 1. without any effects; 2. mic' d without effects; and 3. unamplified. I don't know why but almost every guitar demo video uses some sort of effects. Sweetwater can add 2 more minutes to remedy this. Very nice jazz tone here, however.

[@niveketihw1897]

I agree with the no effects (at all five positions) and the unamplified sound. I especially would love to hear what this sounds like in a room vs. a solid body electric and a big hollow body acoustic.

[@bucketofbarnacles]

Totally agree.

[@einsam_aber_frei]

I tried in shop, it sounds thin, not anything close to a good acoustic guitar. If you want a good acoustic sound, get an acoustic. If you are aiming at jazz or blues, there are archtop and semi-hollow guitar out there. Hybrid isn’t the way to go.

[@niveketihw1897]

Absolutely beautiful instrument, and so versatile.

[@kevinperry3639]

Beautiful. All very nice tones. Features! Great video too, thanks 🤘

[@scottallen8134]

Man, nice playing - you sold me on it! Just pulled the trigger on one of those grape vines. I’m thinking it would be a great fit for my Duo gigs! I like how you can switch from the acoustic to electric sounds while playing. An acoustic with killer action and fast neck? Can’t wait, Tuesday won’t get here soon enough.

[@EP-336]

How are you liking it? I have had my mouse hovering over the “add to cart” button for about a week now…

[@eamoncorbett9524]

Good demo concise and to the point.

[@d.a.6608]

They are great guitars

[@dunbarcustomsound]

I had a T5C custom that I bought used… I love that guitar. Wish I wouldn’t have sold that one. Unfortunately they don’t even make the T5 body anymore. 😢

[@vonbleak101]

Any word if Talyor will do a 12-string version of the Pro...? That would be my ultimate 12-string if so...

[@darylfortney8081]

Just unpacked the custom koa and it's beautiful and sounds great too... action seems a little high for a Taylor though. Interesting I landed also on pickup position 4 (position 2 in your video) as my favorite. Pairing it with a Circa74 custom koa amp and Fractal Audio FM3 Mk II

[@harveysanchez6993]

Wow incredible

[@DavidJNann]

Great sounds coming from this Guitar and sweet playing, would have liked to have heard the neck humbucker with a little less treble and more Bass aka 'Jazz' sound but still sounded great

[@jwstout007]

Always been a fan of the T5z guitars, I’d gig the heck outta that thing with two by my side (always have a backup by your side ;D)!

[@ChrisP3000x]

Nice.

[@faronmitchell6702]

I wonder if it would work for a giging guitar with an electric band?

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

I am not surprised how good this guitar sounds!!! It's a Taylor!!! That's all that needs to be said!!!

[@rod2998]

Keep drinking their kool-aid

[@NakulKrishna]

@@rod2998 ooooh so edgy lol

[@virgilmaralit7817]

Idk kinda sounds like running an acoustic through a digit tech pedal from the 00’s on 10

[@jasonbailey1166]

Can you play the new T5z pro with & without power side by side comparison in the acoustic setting…. Please

[@EpicnextStudios]

I have one, and you definitely need to have it powered. It will not project the sound like a standard acoustic, but is ok for light practice unamplified.

[@HBSuccess]

$3300… I’d expect it to be pretty nice and hell ya I’d gig widdit.

[@themomentkiller9167]

Am I missing something? Feature wise there’s no difference to the standard line.

[@niveketihw1897]

Nicer wood I think.

[@dunbarcustomsound]

The knobs have been reworked and the tone woods are upgrades

[@RobertSaxy]

Correct feature wise just woods upgrade and ergonomic changes

[@williamtsol636]

What does it sound like unplugged ?? It's called acoustic, yet not one KZbinr plays it acoustically !! Everybody does the same presentation !! Generic mind control !

[@paulo2245]

Mmm.. it sounds like an electric guitar instead an electro-acoustic. It makes no sense, in that case Taylor shloud be doing electric guitars like Godin.

[@EpicnextStudios]

It's a great fill guitar for a singer that can play well. Flexible enough for a seasoned player to get acoustic sounds, but very capable for electric stuff too.
