The Story

Custom BTO T5z Quilt Maple Electric Guitar Ruby Red Burst

This T5z was special ordered straight from the Taylor factory! The A-grade Quilt Maple top looks stunning under the Ruby Red Burst gloss finish. The Sapele back and Mahogany neck were left natural, showing off the gorgeous grain of the wood. The neck is topped with a 21 fret Ebony fingerboard inlaid with Abalone dots. The guitar sounds as good as it looks, with a focused high-end presence thanks to the Quilt Maple top and the T5 electronics. The hidden neck humbucker and exposed bridge humbucker combine with an under-saddle piezo pickup for the perfect blend of acoustic and electric tones.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Hang Tags, Certificate of Authenticity, Build Sheet, Paperwork
