About This Guitar

Taylor T5z Custom Koa Shaded Edgeburst


Overview

The Taylor T5z Custom Koa is a hybrid hollowbody electric designed to move fluidly between acoustic-inspired textures and full electric tones. Built with a lightweight Urban Ash body and a figured Hawaiian koa top, it offers a resonant, responsive feel paired with a fast-playing neck and comfort-focused contours that encourage extended playing sessions.

This model’s three-pickup system blends a concealed neck humbucker, a visible humbucker in the middle position, and an acoustic body sensor, all managed through five-way switching and onboard active circuitry. The result is a wide tonal range that spans clean, airy sounds to driven electric voices, making the T5z Custom a versatile tool for players who want flexibility without switching instruments.

  • Figured Hawaiian koa top with Shaded Edgeburst finish
  • Lightweight Urban Ash body with chamfered edges for comfort
  • Three-pickup system combining humbuckers and an acoustic body sensor
