T5
The incredibly versatile hollowbody hybrid T5 continues to amaze
players with its stunning range of electric and amplified acoustic
tones. Equipped with an acoustic body sensor derived from the
Expression System
®
and two humbuckers (one installed beneath
the fretboard), the T5 is fully compatible with acoustic amps, a PA
system, and electric amps. A five-way switch offers access to a
full range of acoustic and electric tones, and an A/B/Both box lets
players dial in a blend of both. A winner of multiple industry awards,
the T5 has redefined what a guitar can do and given performers
across the musical spectrum a guitar that can cover as much ground
as they need to on stage. For 2010, we’re pleased to add another
model to the mix, the ovangkol top T5 Classic (available as either a
6- or 12-string). To view a video demonstration of everything the T5
can do, visit taylorguitars.com.

T3
The T3 rounds out the Taylor electric line with yet another inspiring
blend of tones and smooth functionality that embrace the semi-
hollow sound and then take it to another level. The T3’s coil-splitting
application allows players to turn their high definition humbuckers
into single coils. Our push/pull tone knob activates two different
levels of tone-shaping that yield a colorful range of electric voices,
from rockabilly twang to hard rock to warm, fat jazz. A metal roller-
style bridge includes two tailpiece options: a stop tailpiece or, on
the T3/B, an authentic Bigsby vibrato that adds a touch of vintage,
chromed-out cool. The Bigsby/roller bridge pairing solves the pitch
problems long associated with fixed bridges and tuning stability.
Every step of the way, the T3 enhances the feel, sound and perfor-
mance of a semi-hollowbody electric. Plug one in and you’re bound
to discover a heap of cool new sounds.
