Used 2013 Taylor T5z Custom Koa
Serial Number: 1111043159
Weight: 5.4 lbs.
Condition: Near-mint condition, 2013 model. Guitar shows little to no wear aside from a handful of light swirls in the clearcoat finish from polishing. Comes with original hardshell case.
This 2013 Taylor T5z Custom in Koa is a versatile hybrid instrument, built with a semi-hollow chambered body designed to move seamlessly from clean acoustic tones to full electric overdrive without changing guitars. A figured koa top over an ash body with a Venetian cutaway gives it striking natural coloring under the gloss finish, dressed with white body binding and purfling. At just 5.4 lbs., it's remarkably light and comfortable for an acoustic-electric hybrid.
The bolt-on neo-tropical mahogany neck carries a Standard profile (.800" at the 1st fret, .860" at the 12th fret), topped with an ebony fretboard bound in white, spire inlays, and a 12" radius across 21 jumbo frets and a 24.875" scale length. A 1.6875" synthetic bone nut leads to Taylor-branded tuners in gold, and the headstock carries an ebony veneer with white binding and a mother-of-pearl Taylor logo inlay. An ebony bridge with a TUSQ saddle rounds out the acoustic-side hardware.
Taylor's ES preamp system and 5-way blade selector are the heart of the T5z's versatility, blending the guitar's internal body sensor and pickup combinations to move from warm, acoustic-voiced tones through increasingly electric, humbucker-like output across the five positions, controlled by dedicated volume, bass, and treble knobs. This particular example is in near-mint condition for a 2013 model, showing only a handful of light clearcoat swirls from polishing, and comes with the original hardshell case. Whether you're a player who wants one guitar covering acoustic strumming, jazz cleans, and electric overdrive in a single set, a session player who needs genuine tonal range without swapping instruments, or a collector drawn to striking koa figuring, this T5z Custom delivers real versatility in excellent condition.
