{"product_id":"taylor-t5-c2-custom-koa-usa-2005","title":"Taylor T5-C2 Custom Koa - USA 2005","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Taylor T5-C2 stands apart as one of Taylor's most ambitious hybrid instruments, a true acoustic-electric crossover built to bridge the gap between a resonant hollow-body acoustic and a genuinely playable electric guitar. The T5 series was Bob Taylor's answer to players who wanted both worlds in one instrument, without compromise on either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 2005 Custom example, serial number 20050913542, is finished in a stunning all-koa build with a deep, richly figured Natural Koa burst that darkens beautifully toward the edges. The semi-hollow chambered koa body pairs with an ebony fingerboard featuring Taylor's distinctive \"wing\" inlays, gold hardware throughout, and a sleek Venetian cutaway for full upper-fret access. The reverse-belly bridge and Taylor's proprietary five-way electronics (acoustic, hybrid, and full humbucker voicings) make this one of the most versatile instruments Taylor has ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe instrument presents in excellent condition, with the koa top, back, and sides showing vibrant, tight curl and even colour with no visible cracks, dents, or repairs across any of the photographed surfaces. The gloss finish shows clean, genuine reflections with no clouding or checking, and all gold hardware, tuners, and inlay work remain crisp and untarnished. A genuinely well cared for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlayability is a highlight of the T5 platform, the slim, fast neck profile and ebony board make this one of the more electric-feeling acoustics on the market, while the semi-hollow koa body delivers real acoustic resonance unplugged. Plugged in, the five-way pickup selector spans warm, woody acoustic tones through to a genuine humbucker voice suited to overdrive and lead work, genuinely two guitars in one. Comes complete with original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 2.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 20.72mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 22.02mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNut Width: 43.2mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 53.28mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeight: 2.6kg \/ 5.73lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eModel: Taylor T5-C2 Custom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSerial Number: 20050913542\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYear: 2005\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinish: Natural Koa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBody: Semi-Hollow Chambered Koa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTop: Solid Koa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony, Wing Inlays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBridge: Reverse-Belly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElectronics: 5-Way Selector (Acoustic\/Hybrid\/Humbucker)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHardware: Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTuners: Taylor Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCase: Original Hardshell Case (OHSC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrafted in: Taylor Guitars, El Cajon, California, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48854256976025,"sku":"26163","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_f0eda847-8dff-4b4c-aa38-960bb89ddb2a.png?v=1786424446","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/taylor-t5-c2-custom-koa-usa-2005","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
