Thanks to its humbucking pickups and proprietary body sensor, the Taylor T5 acoustic-electric produces a versatile range of pure analog tones from strumming acoustic to crunchy electric and everything in between. A hidden neck humbucker, a visible bridge humbucker, and a body sensor mounted to the inside surface of the top take advantage of the latest technology, using Samarium Cobalt magnets and humbucking coils. The body sensor reads the movement of the top, adding even more warmth to your acoustic tone. 5-Way Switching Position 1 is where you'll find the most acoustic-like tones. This is a great position for solos and a good place to experiment with the tone controls. Position 3 will go from "spanky" and clean, all the way to "full-tilt crunch." In position 4 you might find it reminiscent of a '50s hollowbody with a slight scoop. Position 5 creates a full and bright sound that's great for thick lead tones.

Position 4 The neck pickup is reactivated 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. Position 5 The neck and bridge pickups are 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. Neck The guitar's innovative T-Lock neck joint brings Taylor's trademark consistency and comfort into the electric player's hands. The Taylor NT neck in 1999 added another major breakthrough in neck design that remains a benchmark for setting an accurate neck angle. It would go on to inspire the single-bolt T-Lock nec
