Taylor T5z Pro Maple Top Cayenne Red

Overview

The Taylor T5z Pro blends electric-style playability with Taylor’s hollowbody T5z design, offering a flexible platform for players who move between acoustic-inspired and electric tones. This version pairs a Big Leaf maple top in Cayenne Red with a Shamel ash body, while the gloss finish and rounded body edges give the instrument a refined look and comfortable feel.

Its neo-tropical mahogany T5 Carve neck features Taylor’s T-Lock neck joint, a 24-7/8" scale length, and a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard with a 12" radius. Taylor’s T5 electronics provide the amplified voice, while the T5z bracing, dual f-holes, and hollow construction contribute to the model’s distinctive response. Faux pearl and silver Spires inlays, nickel hardware, and a matching Taylor Deluxe hardshell case complete the package.
