bobrollar Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've been looking at the Taylor T3 and T5, oh man! I really like what these guitars offer. Always have been a fan of Taylor guitars but I was really impressed with the T3 especially, kinda cool that you have an option for a Bigsby or not. What do you guys and gals think of them?

retrosurfer1959 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I love my T5 it's a Koa model plays great especially with acoustic bridge and strings. Have you tried the solid bodies yet they play pretty sweet also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I am a 100% Taylor nut-hugger; I have never known them to make less than an excellent guitar. Never tried T3 but I came very close to buying a T5 a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I had a T5 Standard for awhile and enjoyed it. Very playable and quite the variety of sounds. I have been a Taylor lover since I got my first Taylor (612C) back in 1993. Being a noob to electric, I don't think I gave the T5 enough of a chance back then. I had a crapppy electric amp and an awesome acoustic amp. I really enjoyed the guitar through the acoustic amp, but not through my SS electric amp so I ended up trading the T5 straight up for a Gibson Advanced Jumbo acoustic which I still have. It is the guitar that brought me into the Gibson fold and now I own 3 Gibbys! (The AJ, a 1964 LG1 and my 1979 Gibson "The Paul" electric. Now that I have a killer tube amp to play through, I would love to get another T5 and use an A/B/Y box to run through both amps. It would be a killer setup.

Jeff-7 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Played a T3 while I was searching for my white SG. Nice guitar it's definitely on my list of axes I want to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eallenb Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I have been looking also. Can not decide T3 or T5. unless you want new... Ebay has some for less cash. Although it makes me wonder why so many? Economy, Trading up for a Gibson, not the tone they wanted etc? I am waiting for a road trip so I can put my hands on one.

BigKahune Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 A while back I fell hard for the T3. Big time GAS. But I couldn't figure out how to squeeze a 15th guitar past the wife without undergoing a major cross examination. B) My vote - T3 with the bigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I played the T5 at GC last week. The only drawback I saw is it must be played through an amplifier. Sounds empty acoustically, but I guess it is supposed to be that way. Saw a TV special a couple months ago with Night Ranger playing T5's. Sounded awesome.
