2007 Taylor T5S1 Hybrid Acoustic/Electric Guitar

Overview: Forgive the limited video demo -- these guitars really do their thing when swapping between an electric amp and an acoustic amp and I only played it through a Tone King electric amp sim. Anyhow, that said -- who doesn't like a T5? They're lightweight, the necks are super-fast and comfortable, and the build quality is top-notch. Whenever they come in for checkups, it seems like I barely ever have to really adjust much at all, and I've known 10 or 12 fairly well in the local area for the last decade-plus and it's the same news each time. They do a particular hybrid-sound thing very well -- somewhere between acoustic and electric and with sounds that flit-around in-between -- and are pretty popular with various folksies-turned rockers up here.


Repairs included: I gave it a quick level/dress of the frets and a setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's pretty dang clean but there is a noticeable scratch/scuff on the back (pictured) that's on the smaller side. There's general light usewear throughout but it's nothing obvious -- just swirl marks from clothing and whatnot. The top shows pickwear/dulling to the finish near the pickup and fretboard.


It comes with: It's got its original hard case.
