The following is a quote from the new page:

Since its founding in 1974, Taylor guitars have been made using carefully selected wood materials and parts, the latest technology, and the hands of skilled craftsmen.They have earned high praise and support from top musicians, and Taylor now boasts one of the largest market shares in the United States.
The T5 (Thinline Fiveway), Taylor's first electric guitar, may look like a semi-acoustic guitar at first glance, but it is a groundbreaking electric guitar with an unprecedented style that uses acoustic guitar construction, unique to an acoustic guitar manufacturer.

Based on the popular and affordable T5z, the compact-body "T5z Custom Koa" features a beautifully grained koa top. The pickup system, a key feature of the T5 series, adds a stacked humbucking pickup to the Taylor "Expression System" found in the electric-acoustic guitar series. The combination of a magnetic pickup embedded in the neck end and a dynamic body sensor attached to the back of the body top produces a sound so realistic it's easy to mistake it for an electric guitar. The humbucking pickup delivers a punchy, powerful midrange sound, complementing the electric sound with the ability to handle high-gain lead tones.
These pickups can be switched using the 5-way selector mounted on the side of the body, which is where the model's name comes from! The selector is located in position 1 from the headstock, allowing you to switch between the three pickup combinations. Depending on the pickup position, you can also use an electric-acoustic amp or an electric guitar amp. We also recommend using an AB-BOX or similar to switch between amps!

The controls on the top of the body are incredibly simple and easy to understand, with just three controls: volume, treble, and bass boost/cut/tone. The tone controls' subtle sensibility allows for a wide variety of sound shaping depending on the pickup combination you use.

The T5 is a new generation electric guitar that truly combines electric and acoustic elements.
The infinite possibilities depend on how you use it. The unprecedented sensations will inspire you and lead to the creation of new music!


[5-Way Pickup Selector]
■ Position-1 (Front PU + Body Sensor)
This is an acoustic tone that activates the body sensor.
This body sensor picks up the delicate and dynamic airiness of the body, so it really shines when connected to an amp specifically designed for acoustic guitars. Connecting it to a regular guitar amp doesn't fully capture the airiness, making it difficult to hear the difference from Position 2, which uses only the front pickup. This sound fully brings out the delicate touch of varying picking strength.

■ Position-2 (Front PU)
A natural electric tone.
It has a moderate airiness and a wide range, making it a versatile tone. It usually has a boxy sound like a semi-acoustic guitar, but by adjusting the tone control, you can also get a sweet tone like a full-acoustic guitar. It sounds great with the clean tones of a guitar amp.

■ Position-3 (Rear PU)
This is the most electric tone.
The powerful, punchy midrange sound allows you to enjoy an electric sound that can even handle high-gain lead tones. The midrange is well-defined, allowing for good drive and producing a sound you wouldn't expect from such a amp. Also, with the amp set to clean and the T-5's treble control turned up, you can even get a Telecaster-like sound, adding versatility.

■ Position-4 (Front PU + Rear PU in parallel)
It has a crisp, supple tone.
It has a rustic tone reminiscent of the good old days, and is perfect for country licks or big band jazz sounds. It works well with the clean to slightly distorted sounds of electric AMPs, but it would also be interesting to connect it to an acoustic AMP.

■ Position-5 (Front PU + Rear PU series)
Flat and fat humbucking-style tone.
The AMP settings provide a flexible tone that can handle a wide range of sounds, from clean to high gain, with a glossy, smooth feel. Fat clean tones are interesting, but the smooth sound extension with a slightly stronger crunch is also very pleasant.

The condition of this particular guitar is such that the gold plating on the tuning peg buttons has thinned due to polishing, and there are some minor scratches and marks from playing throughout the body, but it is generally in excellent condition. The frets are still about 70% tall, and there are no issues with the neck, truss rod, or electronics, making this a guitar that you can enjoy for many years to come. Don't miss this opportunity!
