Electric guitar players are a special breed. While you always have an acoustic close by, your hands and heart want the feel of a great electric. The T5z acoustic-electric guitar is the first in the T5 line to be designed just for you. Shrinking the body down a bit from the T5 design for playing comfort is the first difference you'll notice.
