The Taylor T5Z Classic is a scaled down version of the successful T5 hybrid acoustic-electric models introduced in 2005 and used on many stages. These models were created to meet the needs of ‘downsizing’ touring guitarists who could no longer carry as many guitars as they wanted. Here we’re looking at a Taylor T5Z Classic dating to May 10, 2019 and built at the Taylor shop in El Cajon, California.

Here is a New Old Stock (NOS) Taylor T5Z Custom with a Blackheart Sassafras top, on sale at a significantly reduced price! The compact body size of the Taylor T5Z Custom along with the 12” fretboard radius and jumbo frets provides a very comfortable playing experience for the electric guitar fan. The combination of two electric pickups and one acoustic pickup and a five way switch allows for an excellent variety of tones from acoustic strumming to high gain leads. The body shell and neck are both Sapele, with a bound Ebony fingerboard.
The Boucher SG51 GM is a beautiful sounding guitar with lovely visual appointments. This particular model has the added gold pack and master grade pack options on top of the base model SG-51. The base model is a hybrid OM sized guitar with Adirondack spruce and Indian rosewood sides and back. The Master grade pack adds a hand selected master grade Adirondack spruce top, Abalone rosette and koa body binding. The Gold pack edition includes a torrefied top and gold Gotoh open geared tuners.
The Boucher SG51 is a hybrid style OM guitar that melds simple yet elegant visuals with an inspiring rich balanced tone. Each AAAA Adirondack red spruce top on the Boucher SG51 guitars is handpicked by Robin Boucher for looks and tone. Red spruce has a high ceiling for tone production which means you can drive a lot of energy with a flat pick or your fingers to produce lots of volume and tone.
Here we have a Taylor T5C2 Custom Walnut Top thinline electric, with a pair of humbucking pickups and a concealed Taylor ES system, dating to March 2007. The Taylor T5 has been popular with guitarists who have to fill a variety of musical roles but can’t carry multiple instruments. The mixture of magnetic pickups and acoustic transducers, with Taylor’s Expression System EQ and preamp, make it ideal for filling in for everything from acoustics to electrics.

MORE →The Taylor T5z Sapele Classic is an extremely versatile, lightweight and thin bodied acoustic / electric guitar designed like the T5 to replace several guitars on a bandstand. The model came into being when budgets for large tours were slashed and guitarists had to condense what they carried. The Taylor T5z Sapele Classic is an inch or so narrower than the T5, but offers a similar feature set. The semi hollow body is made with Sapele, and the neck is Mahogany with an Ebony fingerboard and bridge.
