T5z Classic - Sassafras
Blackheart sassafras is known as a musical shapeshifter boasting a highly varied sonic response, making it a perfect choice as a top wood for the T5z Classic - Sassafras. Our hybrid hollowbody electric guitar boasts an acoustic body sensor and twin high-definition humbuckers controlled by five-way switching, allowing you to jump between pickup combinations and access a rich collection of tonal colors. The neck, which sports jumbo frets and a 12 radius for easy bending, will feel fast and responsive to both acoustic and electric players, and the compact body makes for a relaxed fit with any type of player. The gorgeous grain of the sassafras top headlines the visual package, complemented with subtle touches like the Small Diamond inlays and satin black tuners. This model ships with a lightweight, sturdy AeroCase.
