The body of the T5z-STD BK (Black) is composed of a solid Sitka spruce soundboard and solid sapele back and sides. The sapele neck is bolted to the body using a T-Lock joint, which guarantees precise adjustment and perfect vibration transfer, i.e. great sustain. Twenty-one frets and decorative position markers divide the ebony fingerboard surface.
The sound is picked up by three pickups - a magnetic sensor attached to the soundboard and two humbuckers (a cobbler and a neck hidden to the human eye). You can switch between the pickups with a five-position switch. It offers the following configurations - 1. neck humbucker and magnetic sensor, 2. neck humbucker, 3. neck humbucker, 4. humbuckers in parallel, 5. humbuckers in series. The character of the sound can be adjusted using the volume and EQ controls (bass, treble).
The strings are anchored in Taylor Nickel tuning machines and an ebony fingerboard via a bone fretboard and saddle. Nice craftsmanship is marred by the ebony veneer on the headstock adorned with the company's imitation mother-of-pearl logo and bright binding on the body, fingerboard and headstock.
The instrument comes in a case.
