Taylor T5Z Pro (New Version) Grape Vine

[acwild]

This thing is fun! It’s 5 lbs, 10 oz, so it’s really easy on my back. I didn’t buy this thinking that it’s going to sound like my full-size acoustics so my expectations weren’t very high but it sounds fantastic through my Fishman amp. Even though it’s strung with 11’s, it’s very easy to play. After unplugging, I strummed it and thought I left the amp on. It’s not as loud as a full acoustic but it does have some volume.
The contoured arm rest is very comfortable. One con to this is a slight tendency to neck dive but with a suede strap, the issue doesn’t happen.

I absolutely love this guitar!

Very cool, still not used to the new knob layout but I guess it's more ergonomic. Dig my T5 great guitars.

Congratulations! I have the T5z Custom 12-string version and like it a lot. It's more of an electric than an electrified acoustic. The arm contour on yours is probably more comfortable than mine. It has the old knob layout, but I'm used to it.

I’m still getting used to the knob layout as I’ve hit the volume knob accidentally a few times. This guitar has a lot more volume acoustically than I expected. It’s wonderful!
Considering how easy it is to play, I bet that 12-string is a joy to play compared to other 12s.

It is easy to play - I pick it up nearly every day. I keep it in a spot where I see it a lot, so I often pick it up to start song ideas or just play.

Both of those pictured above look great.
I've strummed on a couple of the T5z models and they are indeed fun to play and have their own unique sound and feel.
Congrats, @acwild! I love the looks of it.
