The electric-acoustic hybrid T5z Series embodies the forward-thinking spirit that has led us to our best guitars. Designed as a hollowbody electric guitar, the T5z merges two worlds of tone into a single package. Three pickups give the T5z a wide range of tonal possibilities: a magnetic acoustic body sensor, a concealed neck humbucker and a visible bridge humbucker, controlled with five-way switching that enables everything from searing, high-gain electric leads to warm, rounded amplified acoustic textures. Sporting a fast-playing neck and fingerboard, the player-friendly T5z is dually compatible with electric and acoustic amplifiers, opening a wide world of musical possibilities. Choose from a variety of model options featuring different top woods and color/finish treatments, plus several 12-string models.
