Taylor Custom CT5z B6003 Juniper Green & White with Case

At this year's NAMM show in Anaheim, Taylor put on an unforgettable dealer event on the rooftop of a hotel, showing a set of extremely limited and special guitars, known as the Catch Event.  Here, dozens of one-of-a-kind Taylor guitars were displayed.  We had the opportunity to participate and were fortunate to score a few guitars - this is one of them.

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.  It's truly stunning.  As soon as we saw this guitar at the Catch Event, we knew we had to have it.   

The 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 (one visible and one hidden under the top) and a convenient five-way switch, the hollowbody T5z allows players to explore everything from warm acoustic tones to high-gain electric crunch.

Obviously this is a special guitar - and one that you haven't seen the exact likes of before.  Come to Truetone Music to experience it today, or order right here for it to be expertly packed and safely shipped to your home.  This is one of more striking guitars we've had here and have a feeling it won't last long!
