T5z Classic - Koa
Outfitted with a beautiful Hawaiian koa top, the T5z Classic - Koa sits at the intersection of electric feel and sound with mellow acoustic tones, all provided by the unique three-pickup configuration. Two humbuckers and an acoustic magnet pickup combine to generate a wide range of sounds, while the five-way switching opens several avenues of tone. That means you can swap between high-gain electric sounds and soft acoustic tones with the flick of a switch. In terms of feel, the T5z Classic boasts a fast-playing response thanks to its 12 fretboard radius and jumbo frets. Aesthetic details include Small Diamond fretboard inlays, unbound F-holes and a striking koa top with a subtle edgeburst finish. This model ships with a lightweight, sturdy AeroCase.
