The Taylor T5z Classic is the evolution of a bold idea: what if one guitar could genuinely cover both electric and acoustic territory without compromise? Originally introduced as a breakthrough hybrid design, the T5 series aimed to break the mold — and the T5z refined that concept with a sleeker body and a more electric-focused feel. The T5z Classic - Rosewood continues this tradition, pairing the elegance of a rosewood top with Taylor’s groundbreaking three-pickup system, delivering a wide range of sounds that can move seamlessly from the warmth of an acoustic to the punch of a humbucker-driven electric with the flick of a switch.

This guitar is tailor-made for the modern multi-genre player. Whether you’re playing folk, jazz, blues, pop, or even dabbling in ambient textures or light rock, the T5z Classic gives you the tonal palette to adapt in real-time. Its five-way selector lets you access distinct voicings — ranging from mic’d acoustic tones to mellow jazz warmth to crisp bridge-position crunch — all while staying responsive and articulate. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or recording direct through a pedalboard, the T5z excels in versatility and clarity, with a voice that’s both lush and dynamically nuanced.

Players will appreciate the guitar’s fast, comfortable neck, and the smooth satin finish that allows for extended playing sessions without fatigue. Combined with jumbo frets and a 12" radius ebony fretboard, the T5z Classic offers effortless playability whether you're strumming chords or bending single-note leads. Visually, its rosewood top with shaded edgeburst finish evokes understated sophistication, making it as striking on stage as it is expressive in sound. For the gigging artist, the songwriter, or the tone explorer, the T5z Classic is a guitar that doesn’t ask you to choose between worlds — it hands you the keys to both. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
