Before purchasing this guitar I played a bunch of T5Z guitars in the area. I always enjoyed their low action, neck and scale length. This guitar makes it easy to play rigorous jazz chords that are spread apart. The electronics work well with all the amplifiers I have tried it through. This guitar is also lovely unplugged for practicing around the house.
I definitely recommend this instrument for the serious musician looking for a versatile guitar.

Setup is great. Probably will change the strings. I live in San Diego so I can take it direct to the factory for to get it registered. Great finish and color is right on.

I've had this guitar for about 3 months and still love it as much as I did on day one. The string height is perfect, the neck feels great, and it sounds like a dream. I enjoy playing it unplugged just as much as amplified. Absolutely love it!

I absolutely love this guitar! My sense is that most guitarists will pass on this guitar because it looks understated. But it is the opposite. With its five pick selector, you can switch from acoustic to single coil to humbucker! The tone qualities from these pick ups is amazing! The body is the size of a Gibson Les Paul, but it is significantly lighter. Of my 8 guitars, I play this one more frequently. (I added a Bigsby and this guitar can do anything from country to rock to metal. And I like that I can play for hours without any strain due to its light weight! The quality of the workmanship is first class. Get one to find out why this guitar is so versatile!

Mine came a different color than I ordered for some reason, but it was fine. The more I play this, the better I like it....it takes a little time to warm up to. But once you "get it" - how this fits into your playing, set list, etc., its addicting. GREAT live acoustic tone. Better than some of my traditional Taylors actually, certainly for picking - moreso than "strummy" songs for my taste.

I've had the T5 KOA for about 6 years now, and I love it. It is the guitar I use the most, and has a wonderful sound, whether acoustic or electric, I use it for both.
Excellent tone, neck and playability. Easy to lead on the upper frets. Beautiful looks.

Set up a walk off grandslam right outta box. Took off the power slinky .11's and put some regular slinky 10s on. Ahhh there we go. Book match on the wood is 99.9 percent. The fretboard scale length is a little bit shorter than all my Jackson's 25.5 Compound radius'... and what a pleasant treat indeed. This thing plays like a buttery Dream for ppl with smaller phalanges, like president tiny hands and myself. Playing it through a hartke acr5 (yea...ur gonna want one of those too)...and feeling a bit proud of that combo might I say. Tremendous. Great. Bigly huge. The best...This thing comes to life in an acoustic amp and will suffice on an electric (my grandmeister 36 good, but not in the realm of acoustic bliss)... ain't the same, get a hartke/fishman/Marshall amp to compliment this modern marvel. Spire inlay is beautiful and flawless and there is not one on the headstock as description claims; that was for first edition run. There is virtually no heel (like a 3 mm heel) on the back where the neck joins the body. You can ride it up to the Top and back in the blink of an eye, completely unimpeded. Lightning fast like an Jackson USA - Ebony fretboard, a must have for a guitar of this quality. Ebony is becoming more rare and guitar manufacturers want to give you Richlite with the same price tag. Noooo noooo noooo. Richlite only permissable on nylon string, never ever ever a steel string...and certainly not on any axe over 2k. Yea...im looking at you Henry from Gibson. From the headstock to the bridge saddle and all the dressing in between...bravo! The pups are a great match and completely buzz free. The knobs smooth and pickup selector solid. Piezo output without the unwanted extra noise. she's just perfect; Every last detail immaculate. Now I see why it won electric and acoustic guitar of the year. You get what you pay for folks and for aristocratic (only in taste) gear heads like myself...Nothing else is gonna cut it :) I am always objective when I review items and am not inhibited by conformation bias just because I bought it. It Truly is a high class instrument; the Pinnacle of Sonic superiority. Take my advice now, thank me later ??

My Luthier examined my T5z and found it in perfect shape and fell as much in love with the guitar as I have. We confirmed everything Taylor expressed about this guitar. And it looks as beautiful as it performs. I love it!!
