Designed for players who demand exceptional flexibility without sacrificing tone or playability, the T5 series has become a favorite among performing musicians, session players, and collectors alike.
Featuring a stunning quilted maple top over a sapele body, this T5-C1 delivers a refined visual presence with rich depth and figure beneath its vibrant Transparent Red gloss finish. White binding and elegant T5 Artist fingerboard inlays complete the upscale aesthetic, while gold Taylor tuners and matching gold hardware add a sophisticated finishing touch.
The compact and lightweight design, weighing just 5 lbs 13 oz, makes this guitar incredibly comfortable for long performances and effortless stage movement. Its 24 7/8" scale length and slim maple neck provide a fast, smooth playing experience, complemented by a luxurious ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge for enhanced clarity, articulation, and sustain.
At the heart of the T5-C1 is Taylor’s innovative T5 electronics system, offering an impressive range of tones that move effortlessly from rich acoustic textures to dynamic electric sounds. Whether you need warm cleans, articulate fingerstyle response, or driven electric tones, the T5 adapts with remarkable sensitivity and balance. Responsive onboard controls make dialing in the perfect sound intuitive and stage-friendly.
Additional premium appointments include a bone nut and saddle for improved resonance and tuning stability, standard T5 bracing for enhanced tonal response, and an ebony peghead veneer that ties the entire instrument together with understated elegance. The guitar also includes its original hard case for secure transport and protection.
Versatile, lightweight, and visually striking, the 2006 Taylor T5-C1 is an exceptional all-in-one performance instrument that continues to stand apart as one of Taylor’s most innovative designs.
