I love my Taylor T5z and highly recommend getting Zebra strings which have enough bronze for the acoustic sound AND enough nickel for the magnetic pickup. Otherwise you're getting half of what you could.
What tell me more?!
Absolutely love longer more chilled out videos like this, cheers guys :)
My local shop has one of these but it's the Koa top, and it is such an awe inspiring guitar. It is used and still commands a $3000 price tag. The playability is just like nothing else I have ever played. The action, feel and tone make two hours go by without you even being aware of the passage of time. I could not stop playing it. It was like all the things that I struggle with on a regular guitar just fell away with this thing. Single note runs, chords, finger picking, flat picking, bending, vibrato, slide, you name it, it is effortless on this guitar. If I came home with it, I would be divorced, so it would cost more than the sticker. But I would trade every single guitar I own for this, it is THAT good,
I'm so glad you two did a review on this guitar. I really wanted to buy one, and now I think I will! Thank you!!
14:12 Coheed and Cambria - Welcome home! Man chappers, you always throw in good riffs.
Bless... The lads have been hanging around each other so long that they pull each others expressions... Rob @ 7:34
Very intriguing hybrid... I've never heard anything so varied... One for the wall maybe? Try before buy for sure...
I purchased my T5z well after this video was produced (~2017). Yes, it is primarily an electric guitar that does a reasonable impression of a "plugged-in" acoustic. It does take a while to navigate your way through the switching. However, if you do put in the effort, you will be rewarded with one of the finest, all-around guitars available.
Coheed and Cambria are my favorite band! Super cool to hear rob playing that
Ah you silly Coheed fans always wet yourselves whenever you hear their music playing. What? My pants are wet too? That just... I... shut up and play more welcome home..
No but seriously, they're the reason I started playing. Met them all before and going to see Claudio today for a book signing. I'm excited af.
Right on! I got to meet the whole current band at Uproar festival which was awesome!
The ultimate church band guitar? :P
Lol, that's just what I was thinking!
It depends on the amount of guitarists. I played both in church bands with one and two guitarists. In the first case, I would really suggest it. If you have more than one i think it would be better to have an electric and an acoustic guitar. But that is just my opinion.
Who goes to church in this day and age?
Joe Scott People with their eyes closed.
Yorie1234 amen to that
I love these videos. They are great to put on whilst cooking the dinner and they beat the crap on the telly.
love how it sounds, love how it looks, love its concept, hate that i can't afford it :/
Love the Coheed at 14:14 Not heard that in forever.
YES!!! BACK TO THE LONG VIDEOS ARE WE CHAPS JUST THE WAY IT USED TO BE :D
Bea really is good, geez!
Yeah he totally steals the video even if he just plays a minute!
Greetings from Puerto Rico Captain & Chappers
Just got a Tobacco Sunburst Pro T5z and it's just PERFECT…!
It's on the expensive side but you get what you pay for on Taylors.
The sounds you can get on these is just INCREDIBLE.
Thanks for the great review...
I'm aware of getting one of those. But your so entertaining and I love to listen to your ideas on guitars I've never heard of before :)
Thanks for sharing guys, I could watch you all day
I absolutely loved the Coheed Intro.
Welcome Home Rob!
YES! Haven't heard to play 'Majesty' in ages Rob! Made me smile!
Innovation done right, unlike Fender with their wiring chip nonsense or Gibson's Firebird X. Along with the Line6 dream rig, this is what I like to see guitars evolve into.
I was going to like your comment, but then you completely contradicted yourself with your approval of the Line6 Dream Rig.
I can understand that, I assume you mean that the Variax and Firebird X are similar? I just meant that the Line6 products seem a lot better executed than the Firebird X.
Lennart N
They are better executed, but I am against the concept itself (with which the first part of your comment seemed to agree).
C. Shearin
...says the person replying to a comment thread which is more than a month old.
Bea's playing always amazes me, always something new. Good work mate!
Loving the dual cam with the close ups of the guitars!!!
The blue flame top. I wants it.
I feel like Rabea is kinda like that guy from old cartoons that didn't say much but had a lot that he could do and show the other characters.
+matoro156 Rabea is the wise master who stays behind the scenes, mentoring his students. Rob and Cap are the students.
Getting mine on Monday!!! Cant wait! Great review guys, this is such a great guitar!
Did you get it? Do you love it? How is it for live performance? Thx
@@stephenlennartz3466 I don’t play live so can’t say. I still have it, don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it. The cleans are crisp. It’s very light! I ran it into a fractal & it’s pretty insane.
The downside is that it has a bit of a hollow tone so the electric tone never sounds as “thick” as a real electric but it’s so damn fun I don’t notice.
Wow, that feedback stuff at the very end were so dynamic I coulda sworn you were using a wah.
I have to say i wasn't expecting such a awesome sounding instrument. This one is going on my wishlist for sure :3
astounding demo, that guitar sounds so good, it really is very good, I never really liked the acoustic simulated sound type guitars like the variax, and such, but this rendition of combining both is stellar, were on to something here lol
Thank you, guys, for a thorough overview. I LOVE the gaslamp color model and was looking at the T5z in that tone as a replacement or additional jazz box. However, I see now that these weren't quite meant for that...although they still sound amazing. Guess I may have to get over the color obsession and look at T3s. Again, much appreciated.
Best guitar demo I've ever seen on youtube hahaha
That orange one in the back! PLEASE Chappers! Tell me about it!
I'd love to see a comparison of the T5z and the PRS Hollowbody II. I tried one of the latter yesterday and it felt and sounded wonderful. The Taylor comes from the acoustic side, and the PRS comes from the electric side, but they meet in the middle with these two models.
Bea ripping out that Nuno was sublime
you know what i really want to see is rob and cap playing fan fret guitars
Yeah i picked up the custom and instantly fell in love and found my soul mate
Thumbs up if you like the idea, but I think you guys should do a rig setup and the theme is if the rig was your only rig you could use for the rest of your life, what would you chose? Like 1 guitar, 1 amp, 1 pedal etc.
I have the original style T5 Ltd (£1100 from Andertons April 2010). For me neck & frets comfortable, play great, stable tuning & almost perfect intonation. In acoustic setting it isn't a patch on my Taylor 614CE, but is pretty good for an electric-ish guitar. But in a band situation, trying to be heard over the drummer, the acoustic body sensor just howls uncontrollably, I actually use a piece of tape to block me accidentally catching switch position 1. I found bronze (Elixir) strings were complete crap on this, they just don't excite the pick-ups, it needs regular electric strings, I'm using D'Addario XL jazz light. And the two strap buttons - it's not "a choice", it's so that when you put it down it's stable - doesn't fall over. Ingenious. Search for "barrie baker guitar" if you want to hear mine in action, as an electric with a band, as an acoustic on my own.
THAT BLUE GUITAR ROB IS PLAYING IS THE ONE = YES =
So glad you guys done the T5z. I have a T5 and love it but Rob is right you do have to watch the gain anything much more than cranked Marshall gets to hard to handle. It is an innovative guitar so you have to approach it a bit differently. Thanks for the videos and hello from America.
these guitars are amazing and i can see how clever and great they may be for someone, just that person isn't me
love that lil bit of coheed rob plays around 14 minutes!
Damn, I kinda want that feedback in my life.
Ronald Garcia Guitar Fernandez ST-1 or sustainiac system. Under $200 and you’ll get sustain/ feedback forever.
This guitar would be my number one go to if I wasn't a debt riddled college student right now. These tones would sound amazing for my venue.
That’s awesome controlled feedback
Does it make sense to spend that much money on a T5z? It's versatile and probably very inspiring (as their baritone 8) but if you ever change your mind and try to sell it, you're screwed... I mean you always lose money when you sell a guitar you bought brand new but in Europe, T5 lose like half their value the minute you walk out the door of the music store. I wonder what their classic version sounds like...
I would love one of these ! Being lightweight is a huge advantage to me, the 2 main things I look for now are a nice neck and light, I just wan't something to pick up and play these days.
Wow. Would love to see a demo on these guitars true the Two Rock Sensor. That must be magic!
One of the great things about Taylor Guitars, is they will make any of their normal production guitars in a left handed version. Takes about 60 days though. Mine will be delivered in a couple weeks! 😁 My first electric guitar, other than my lap steel. Can't wait.
And you guy didn't even really play around with the bass and treble controls. You can get a Gretsch kind of sound, and Strat kind of sound, as well as the Gibson 335 sound, depending on where you have the settings.
That Coheed and Cambria riff sounded nailed.
Midnight Express - Nuno Bettencourt wow!
Taylor doesn't made a single bad product. Everything I've played from them is top notch... And my 410ce is to die for!
Love the new intro!
Love your videos!
I was walking around guitar center and found this in a back room. Picked it up and was amazed!
Let me put it this way. The T5Z is unique in that it has three (3) kinds of pickups AND separate treble, bass and volume controls AND a 5 way selector switch. There are NO electric guitars from Fender, Gibson, PRS, Ibanez, etc that offers this level of control and flexibility except for custom shop. Long story short, its 2018 and I wants one!!! Blue as well to pair with my blue PRS single cut hollow body II that ONLY has piezo and two humbuckers and treble controls. Look guys, its says T5Z Pro. For a Pro, it is well worth the money.
Taylor T5z Guitar Range Review - Time to challenge those preconceptions!
What is he's playing? 9:06 approx
around 17:00 when rob adds a bit of gain his face is like "I don't know if I should shred or play acoustic" haha haha has to be a strange yet creative feeling.
the best word i found for this instrument is inspiring..very inspiring indeed
just tested one out today after months searching for one...and yeah, its pretty good..
love the new intro!
Great video guys! It,s nice to hear the slower bluesy stuff. And GOD what a great guitar. Great review. I,m going bankrupt. Thank you.
Make a chapman hybrid guitar. Make it more stylish. New shape, new electronics, would rule lol
Wow definitely will have to try one of them. T5 looks so much better without them white outlines.
Hello chaps! Greetings from Copenhagen! Great vid - also: Could you please tell me about that orange telecaster hanging on the wall behind the Captain! What's the make and model? Cheers!
I keep coming back to this video just to hear Bea play Midnight Express, sounds beautiful through this guitar
I know you have covered others in this "Hybrid stylee"...but I would really like to see a three way shoot out (like Tele & Les Paul comparisons), .... Between Taylor T5, The Godin A6 Ultra, and the Crafter SAT as I am wanting to move to a hybrid. Cheers KEEP ROCKIN
Nobody seems to have mentioned the looks. Personally I think these look gorgeous.
As someone who owns mostly cheap guitars, if I was spending this kind of money for the first time it wouldn't be my first choice. I've always wanted a Les Paul (though I'd possibly go for a Tokai given their excellent reputation), Strat or even a Tele (I didn't like them in the past but they've been growing on me over the past couple of years) so I'd probably go for one of those first and second.
Bit of an aside, I don't know how many people agree, but the different lines from Fender and Gibson are getting confusing to follow.
I have a T5 and I use electrics and its perfect. I play acoustic shows all over town with my T5 with Ernie Ball Cobalt 11's. I can play solos on it like I would on my Les Pauls. It's a great guitar and I can plug into an amp and rock this thing up if I want.
that intro is beast :)
Bea needs a bit in every demo, he's a really cool player and has a really different style to chappers & lee which makes the review more comprehensive.
The best guitar is the guitar that makes you not want to put it down.. I've had my t5z custom for a year now and it gives me that feeling...only thing is I secretly want to trade it for that blue Denim one..lol..
I always said that the British built the amps and the US made the guitars put that together and you get rock n roll.
This is the first time that I have seen this guitar being demoed, very interesting! I think that I have found the guitar that my studio is missing!
This guitar looks so good in black
So, who exactly is that lovely "Bear Sister" appearing at 9:57 (with paws)?
On a more serious note, what is that (also very lovely) "orange with license plate" tele hanging on the wall behind you guys!?
Lee's face at 13:24, love it! xD
Fabulous guitar - with none of that 'piezo' crap (and no need for an 'acoustic' amp);; and the proportions, and the modern 'f holes' -- beautiful.
Wow these guitars look awesome and sound pretty cool too, I wonder how much they-
oh wait there's the price tag I'll never afford it.
Wow. Thanks for the Demo. Love Taylor, but chose the T3 over the T5. That's a great sound now with the T5z. Killer electric.
Easily one of the best guitars I've ever played... I had a really hard time putting it down, the tone/feel is on another level!
You should also demo their full on Electric guitars!
I own one. I reccomend them! But they're very uncommon because they never got promoted much and not many professional players use one.
Lee: We all get around to owning 3 or 4 guitars??? I don't know anybody here that doesn't own 10 to 20; all the way from acoustic to electric, from Danelectro to Gibson, from Esteban to Taylor. They all do different things and they are more addictive than cheese crisps! PS BTW, This was a great video, but I can't make up my mind which one (more acoustic or more electric sounding) to get. I'll have to watch this video a few more times... :)
Cannot believe he didnt play 'cat scratch fever' with that great feedback 😁
I would love to see this guitar split to an electric and acoustic amp, and the person playing listening to the electric through headphones. I'd love to hear the "shredding" played through the acoustic side of the guitar with the person playing hearing electric. Would just be interesting.
Isn't what Rabea's playing Midnight Express by Extreme?
I may be a metalhead, but man, i want that
I had a Taylor T5. I loved the sound, but the radius on the neck felt like the neck was flat and I didn’t like that, so I sold it. Does the neck feel more comfortable on the T5z? Also, when you use the full “expression” mode, do you get some ability to play percussive guitar like one can on a regular acoustic?
I would love to hear this through two Katana MKII Artists.
third like 1st comment lol anyways nice video always love your work. do you think you could a rundown of some semi-hollow guitars from ibanez epiphone and others
thank you for doing a T5Z review with distortion.
man that guy has the groove
Heck yea, some mean sounds there with the right settings n Amps 👍👀🎸🎶
I heard that Coheed and Cambria, Chappers. You can't hide it from me!
The blue one looks and sounds beautiful
Rob, you should record some clean tone/acoustic songs, or stick some of those tones into your songs. They sound great. Maybe you do/have and I'm just unfamiliar. I mostly hear you do rock riffs.
I really enjoyed the tone of that gut fiddle
Would love to see you compare this to the standard T5, its hard to tell a difference not seeing them both at once
Chappers, thats a nice T shirt!! Where did you buy it??
I forget how much of a BEA-ST that Bea is!! Got some serious talent! Not to say that Chappers and the Cap'n "suck"... Always a nice surprise to see him make a guest appearance :) Also, anyone heard a release date for the Dorje Album??
RC throwing in the little Coheed riff. Nice.
One of your better demos. I played one of them and they play great.
