Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Few guitars can match what Taylor's T5 offers in its price range. That's why many musicians decided to go for T5, and if you decide to do so as well, you surely won't be sorry. With almost nothing to add to this beautiful instrument, rest assured it will serve you well.

Taylor went really far in carefully choosing T5's features. There's little to be wished for, which makes T5 a full-featured guitar for a musician that plays a music style this instrument is primarily built for. If you decide to go for Taylor's T5 you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by T5.

Ready to play out of the box, Taylor's T5 is easy to set it up even more precise than usual, thanks to great hardware pieces it has built in. Handling and playing this kind of guitar is a pure joy as it stays in tune 90% of the time, regardless of the level of usage. It feels reliable and it really is, as Taylor put great deal of time and effort to produce such a good-looking guitar that is behaving well, as T5 does.

T5 is a reliable guitar that will go to hell and back with you, and would want to do it again. It's a magnificent instrument that is reliable on stage as it is in studio. It will stand the beating and still would not lose its charm and ability to perform. Taylor did make the instrument that should be considered the most reliable in its class!
