Description

If there ever was a six-string stallion bred for the modern outlaw, the Taylor T5z Custom - Big Leaf Maple & Shamel Ash - Holographic Pearl is it. This ain't just any guitar—it's a NAMM 2025 showstopper, a true gunslinger’s dream, dressed in a Holographic Pearl finish that shimmers like desert heat on the horizon. The Big Leaf Maple top and Shamal Ash back and sides ain’t just for show; they bring a voice as bold as a canyon wind, delivering rich acoustic resonance with electric bite.

Built for the player who walks the line between worlds, its T5 System electronics make switching from warm, woody tones to snarling electric growls as easy as a flick of the wrist. The sleek T5z body shape, complete with a smooth Venetian cutaway, invites you to ride up the neck with ease, while the Neo-tropical Mahogany neck and West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard feel like a well-worn revolver in a gunslinger’s grip. And those MOP and Green Abalone Xydeous Diamond inlays? They’re as sharp and striking as a silver spade in a royal flush.

This beast is built to endure the long haul, with rounded body edges, an integrated armrest, and a gloss finish that glows under the stage lights. The 1-11/16” nut width and 24-7/8” scale length make for fast, comfortable play, while Taylor Satin Black tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, even when you’re bending notes like a cowboy bends the truth. At 5 lbs 9 oz, it's light enough to sling over your shoulder but solid enough to stand its ground.

This here is no ordinary guitar—it’s a high-noon showdown between acoustic soul and electric fury, built for the player who refuses to be fenced in. Whether you’re playing under neon lights or desert stars, the Taylor T5z Custom is ready to ride.
