The Taylor Custom Shop T5z #C0960 is a masterclass in Custom Shop craftsmanship, blending rare, hand-picked woods with versatile, stage-ready performance. Its figured Ironbark top, paired with Shamel ash body and satin-finished back and sides, delivers a dynamic voice that’s rich, resonant, and responsive across both acoustic and electric textures. Every note sings with clarity, whether you’re layering warm, open chords or driving bold, expressive leads.

In your hands, the guitar feels like an extension of your own touch. The hand-selected figured hard rock maple neck and highly variegated Crelicam ebony fingerboard offer a tactile, expressive surface, while the T5z carve ensures comfort and control for hours of playing. Jumbo frets and a 12” radius make bends, vibrato, and intricate passages feel effortless, rewarding both precision and expression.

The T5 system brings extraordinary tonal versatility, letting you shift seamlessly between acoustic warmth and full-bodied electric tones with a simple flick of the 5-way switch. Onboard volume, treble, and bass controls provide nuanced shaping, giving players immediate access to the exact voice they want without sacrificing the natural resonance of the instrument. It’s a guitar designed to respond to subtlety and nuance, giving you the full palette of the T5z experience.

Visually, this Custom Shop T5z is stunning. The hand-picked figured Ironbark top, satin-finished tobacco back and sides, and gold hardware provide an elegant contrast, while the highly variegated ebony fingerboard adds a striking, one-of-a-kind look. Every detail—from the hand-selected woods to the subtle headstock finish—underscores Taylor’s commitment to artistry and performance, making this T5z a rare and inspiring instrument, available now at Haggerty’s Music.
