The next generation of guitars performs in both acoustic and electric environments.
The next generation of guitars is here the Taylor T5 Electric Guitar. Take your tone from crunchy electric to strumming acoustic and everything in between, using the T5's proprietary humbucking pickups and body sensor. A fully-hollow thinline body makes your acoustic tone authentic.
Because the T5-CGW guitar is a true hollowbody, the hand-picked highly figured quilted cocobolo acts as a soundboard that helps shape its versatile range of tones. A sapele body provides the ideal tonal and structural properties that enable the T5 to perform in both acoustic and electric environments.
The Taylor T5-CGW is designed to perform equally well through both electric and acoustic amps. Thanks to its humbucking pickups and proprietary body sensor, the T5 produces a versatile range of pure analog tones from strumming acoustic to crunch electric and everything in between. One flick of its five-way switch and you're on your way.
Position 1 - Under-Fretboard Humbucker and Body Sensor in series
Activating the hidden neck pickup and body sensor, Position 1 is where you'll find the most acoustic-like tones. Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean only (to prevent high-gain feedback in this position).
Position 2 - Under-Fretboard Humbucker
The body sensor is switched off, leaving only the neck pickup active and yielding warm, round tones. This is a great position for solos and a good place to experiment with the tone controls. Try rolling back the Treble knob for darker tones. Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean or Electric/overdrive.
Position 3 - Bridge Humbucker
We move into the bridge pickup zone and one of the most versatile tonal ranges. Position 3 will go from "spanky" and clean, all the way to "full-tilt crunch." Start out with the Volume at the detent (center) then roll it up to "push" the amp. Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.
Position 4 - Bridge Humbucker and Under-Fretboard Humbucker in parallel
The neck pickup is re-activated and runs in parallel with the bridge pickup. You might find it reminiscent of a '50s hollowbody with a slight scoop. In Position 4 you'll find one of many unique T5 tones. Suggested Amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.
Position 5 - Bridge Humbucker and Under-Fretboard Humbucker in series
The neck and bridge pickups are now running in series, creating a full and bright sound that's great for thick lead tones. Change the Volume settings and watch its "personality" change. Suggested Amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive, or Electric/high-gain.
