Our thinline hollowbody electric/acoustic T5z is big on performance versatility. Blending electric and amplified acoustic tones within a single instrument, the T5z features an innovative three-pickup design controlled by five-way switching — a magnetic acoustic body sensor, concealed neck humbucker, and visible bridge humbucker. In 2023, Andy Powers gave the guitar a design refresh to make it more player-friendly than ever, switching the body wood to lightweight Urban Ash, adding contouring refinements like an elegant armrest that’s carved into the top, and repositioning the volume and tone knobs for more intuitive tone-shaping on the fly. (The knobs are also taller and easier to roll.) This year we’ve streamlined the model selection to feature the T5z Pro, with a figured maple top and four color options: Cayenne Red, Harbor Blue, Tobacco Sunburst and Black; and the T5z Custom, sporting a Hawaiian koa top and shaded edgeburst. Between its sweeping range of tones, fast-playing neck and stage presence, the T5z is built to shine in your hands.
