The Taylor T5-S1 is a premium hybrid acoustic-electric hollowbody guitar produced by Taylor Guitars between 2005 and 2013, renowned for its ability to blend authentic acoustic resonance with fully overdriven electric tones. As part of Taylor’s early foray into the hybrid market, the "S1" suffix specifically denotes the Standard series setup featuring a flamed or quilted maple top layered over a sapele body, separating it from standard spruce or exotic wood variations.

  • Specifications & Features
    The T5-S1 is highly regarded by touring and studio musicians for its fast playability and physical lightweight profile:
  • Tonewoods: Features a stunning figured maple top paired with a sapele body, a sapele neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge.
  • Body Design: Uses a slim, thinline hollowbody shape with stylized F-holes inspired by Taylor's Grand Auditorium silhouette.
  • Neck Profile: Includes a 24 7/8-inch scale length, a 1 11/16-inch nut width, and a comfortable 12-inch fingerboard radius utilizing Taylor's T-Lock single-bolt joint


Groundbreaking 3-Pickup, 5-Way System
Unlike traditional hybrid guitars that rely on piezo saddles for acoustic tones, the T5-S1 uses an all-magnetic proprietary pickup configuration managed by an active preamp/EQ and a 5-way selector switch on the upper shoulder:

  • Concealed Neck Humbucker: Buried entirely under the fretboard for clean, warm, jazz-oriented rhythms.
  • Visible Bridge Humbucker: A high-output bridge pickup designed for classic electric leads, crunch, or high-gain rock.
  • Proprietary Acoustic Body Sensor: Glued to the underside of the soundboard to capture the physical, organic vibrations of the top, mimicking a full-body flat-top acoustic
