Taylor T5z Classic Left Handed 12 String Hybrid

Bedroom play only, in great condition, although not played in some time so will likely need a look at the set up.

The Taylor T5z is a compact, hollowbody hybrid electric-acoustic guitar designed to bridge the gap between acoustic warmth and electric solid-body performance. Priced roughly between £1,850 and £2,600 depending on the specific top wood (Mahogany, Rosewood, or Koa), it features a slim thinline body, an electric-friendly 12-inch fretboard radius, and jumbo frets.

Design & Playability

• Body Construction: Thinline hollowbody with stylized f-holes and a single Venetian cutaway.
• Neck Feel: Fast, slender bolt-on tropical mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard.
• Scale Length: Shorter 24-7/8" scale that caters directly to electric guitarists used to effortless string bending.
• Factory Strings: Ships strung with electric guitar strings rather than acoustic bronze strings. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Electronics & 5-Way Switching
The T5z utilizes a hidden three-pickup layout (a concealed neck humbucker, a visible bridge humbucker, and a dynamic acoustic body sensor) controlled by an active preamp and a 5-way switch: 

• Position 1 (Acoustic Mode): Combines the neck humbucker and the active body sensor for a warm, mic-like plugged-in acoustic tone.
• Position 2 (Neck Humbucker): Delivers a clean, bluesy, or jazzy electric tone similar to a traditional neck position.
• Position 3 (Bridge Humbucker): Provides a bright, punchy, and cutting rock tone.
• Position 4 (Parallel Humbuckers): Blends both humbuckers in parallel for a wide, hollow, 1950s-style electric rhythm sound.
• Position 5 (Series Humbuckers): Runs both humbuckers in series for a thick, high-gain, searing lead boost.
