Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The T5z Custom combines a figured Hawaiian koa top and Urban ash body in Taylor’s right-handed T5z carve. Its T5z electronics use an acoustic body sensor with neck and bridge humbuckers, so five-way switching can move you among acoustic-oriented and magnetic-pickup sounds within a set. The 24.875-inch scale, 21-fret ebony fingerboard and Venetian cutaway give the guitar a compact electric-familiar layout. Gold Taylor tuners and a Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case complete the listed package.
