The Taylor T5z Limited acoustic-electric guitar bridges the electric and acoustic worlds, offering you a dynamic range of sounds in one beautifully appointed hollowbody instrument. This customized limited-edition T5z features a quilted bigleaf maple top, accented by a hand-selected West African ebony fretboard featuring rare gray marbling. As a T5z, it features the unique Taylor three-pickup configuration—two humbuckers and an acoustic body sensor—controlled by five-way switching, which allows you to easily swap between warm acoustic tones, hot electric leads and a range of sounds in between. Custom visual details for this NAMM-exclusive build include a striking shark gray finish, Gotoh 510 tuners in antique chrome, gray bone bridge pins with awabi dots and 4 mm dot inlays in paua.

Inspired by Taylor Swift's memories of writing songs on her Baby Taylor, the Taylor Swift Baby Taylor (TSBTe) is a three-quarter-size acoustic guitar that's especially suited to young players and aspiring tunesmiths. This model's solid spruce top serves up a balanced, clear sound, and the slender neck and fretboard offer an accommodating feel for new budding players. With the built-in ES-B acoustic pickup and digital tuner, you're all set to plug in and play through an amplifier. The custom rosette was created in collaboration with Taylor Swift herself, and features her signature along with a delicate floral design custom-printed on the top. The TSBTe comes with a gig bag for transport.
