The Taylor T5z Electric-Acoustic Hybrid Guitar: An Overview and Playthrough Demo!

Sure, there are acoustic guitars with pickup systems, and there are electric guitars with piezo systems - but nothing does both electric and acoustic tones as impressively as the Taylor T5z series. This video features Taylor's own Mike Venezia with The Music Zoo's Garrett Hess going in-depth on what makes the T5z such a versatile instrument to have in your arsenal.

I hadn’t seen this yet brother. So good.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

What I like is that, correct me if I'm wrong, they all come in a left-hand version too, which is rare.

Taylor rep said if I put Bronze strings on, I would have to change the saddle-unknowingly I didn’t change saddle when store changed from original to bronze. What affect would it have. Should I just take it back to put on nickels? I can’t change my own yet.

[@joevalente8451]

Electric strings have a plain G, acoustic strings have wound. So the compensated saddle would be different for the wound G. If you use bronze but replace the wound G with a plain one, the saddle you have is fine.

These guitars are awesome, like the Fender acoustasonic, but the biggest question has to always be, what amp should we use then? This has vexed me for ages if you want to swap mid song on loops for instance? From electric to acoustic, suddenly the response is different no?

[@joevalente8451]

Nope, they're pretty balanced from position to position. As for what's the right amp, although I gigged mine for several years with a Grandmeister, my experience has been that modeling is your friend. It works beautifully with my Atomic Amplifire. In both cases, you'll want a noise gate if you're using gain, because these generate a lot of thermal noise that becomes really obvious when you bump the gain.

@@joevalente8451 I was in the same boat, and did some experimenting. I play it through my Roland JC120 and it sounds great in full acoustic or electric mode. I also use a Fishman in acoustic mode with the A/B switch and get great sounds. Hope this helps

Is it playable when unplugged?

[@themusiczoo]

it's pretty low-volume in that performing for someone it wouldn't be a good option, but its definitely audible on the couch much like a Gibson ES-330 or 335 would be!
