Taylor Custom T5z Quilted Big Leaf Maple/Shamel Ash 2026 Catch Event

A fresh color combination and elaborate, iridescent inlays elevate this custom T5z to new aesthetic heights. Featuring a vibrant Juniper Green top color that emphasizes the gorgeous quilting unique to Big Leaf maple, this hybrid electric-acoustic boasts a three-dimensional visual effect that contrasts beautifully with the Arctic White Shamel ash back and sides and slim, fast-playing mahogany neck adorned with paua Spring Vine inlays. The maple’s natural grain remains visible around the F-holes, pickup slot and rounded edges, creating the impression of traditional wood binding. Outfitted with an acoustic body sensor, dual high-definition humbuckers and a convenient five-way switch, the hollowbody T5z allows players to explore everything from warm acoustic tones to high-gain electric crunch.
