Details
The original Taylor T5 series is the predecessor to the T5z, laying the foundation for Taylor’s innovative approach to hybrid acoustic-electric guitars. Featuring a stunning koa top and a sleek hollowbody design, the T5-C2 delivers rich acoustic resonance while seamlessly transitioning to dynamic electric tones. Its versatile pickup system—including a magnetic acoustic body sensor, a concealed neck humbucker, and a visible bridge humbucker—offers a wide tonal range, making it ideal for players seeking both warm acoustic shimmer and punchy electric bite. Compared to the later T5z, the T5-C2 features a slightly larger body and traditional acoustic-style frets, providing a unique feel and response.
Structurally, this guitar is in great shape for its age, with normal pick wear and a small collection of pressure dings on the top between the end of the neck and the bridge pickup—nothing that affects playability. The frets remain in excellent condition, and it has been well cared for over the years. With its beautiful koa construction, premium craftsmanship, and remarkable versatility, this T5-C2 is an outstanding choice for players looking for a high-quality hybrid guitar with a classic design.
