Taylor T5 , beautiful guitar but somehow don't like how it sounds. I woudn't say that it's an electric-acoustic guitar, it's rather a half electric - half acoustic one ( a bit "handicapped" ). I was planning to buy one but not anymore. Dissapointed ... after I've watched almost all the videos on youtube about T5...

Thanks for watching. I should let you know this video does no justice to the sounds the T5 can produce. I'm playing through a 10" Vox amp here. When you run this through a nice acoustic amp it sounds amazing. I actually usually run this through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and it sounds huge. I can promise if you play one you'll love it.

what does it sound like unplugged with acoustic strings bud ?just interested coz its so shallow .

[prs907]

I will try to upload a video using this guitar unplugged in the next few days. Surprisingly enough, despite the shallow nature of this guitar, it doesn't sound bad unplugged at all! Subscribe to my channel so you will be notified right away when I upload the unplugged video. Thanks for watching!

I think it sounds great! I love that guitar, what amp are you playing through?

[prs907]

Here I am using a Vox VT30. It's a smaller practice style amp but it has a decent clean tone to it. I usually run this guitar through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and it sounds truly amazing. Most people wouldnt run a guitar like this through a Rectifier but I have to say it sounds incredible. Thanks for watching!

Nice job man! I like it.

That guitar cost 3000e .. how much you spent on it?

@samurajszabi I know it's been 2 years since you posted that comment, but I have to chime in and say that the T5 sounds great if you use it right. If you use the first pickup position and go through an acoustic amp (I use a Genz-Benz Shenandoah), it sounds as good as my other two Taylors, a 714 and a K22. I haven't played it much using the distorted side, but you should go through an A/B box and send the signal to a bonafide electric amp if you want it to sound like it should.

Played this today at guitar center... like nothing i have ever played before I love it. that and the ES 339... i want that bad now. lol What scales are those you are playing??

@4TheEnglishDemocrats unplugged its not good at all u can put acoustic strings but but its better with electric

[rushil2cool]

Nice playing, beautiful guitar,

But one of yours strings is slighty out of tune

@samurajszabi I think you must have miss one ( demo ) taylor t5 rochaO mark seal playing a t5 .... fantastic....

[mikebri527]

@meangreen4321 Thanks for the reply. It depends on how you look at it. If I have to buy 2 quality guitars, then that can potentially cost me a lot more than the price of one T5. If I can't afford that, then I loose out on one or the other. Also, I have to bring 2 instruments with me to every gig which might not be practicable (especially for me playing at a church). At times I barely have room for myself and one guitar, no less two, and an amp, and effects, etc.

@mikebri527

When you buy a guitar, you want to more than "get the job done". lol You want it to sound amazing or else you may as well have a quality acoustic and quality electric and keep switching back and forth. The sound quality is most important.

[akmountaingrown]

I think the effects you used on this song and with the Tremonti were cutting your sustain down and its got this weird sitar like effect if you listen closley, I think that thing sounded alot better when we jammed at the open mic with the digitech delay

@samurajszabi the single best way to decide whether or not you would like to own a particular guitar is to head to whatever store near your has that model and actually play it for yourself. The same guitar can sound completely different in the next person's hands. While you may like the sound, it may just feel terrible. Play them all, don't look at price tags or names, and once you find the one that sounds and feels best to you...work toward affording it.
