New here. Bought used but like-new Taylor T5z, koa, binding, gloss finish. I love it! I've been a 3- 4- chord strummer for years. Also play a bit of mandolin and ukulele, but never got really serious. Am now retired and decided to get into some serious blues stuff and jazz changes. Bought the T5z because I wanted a neck that had a light electric touch but a guitar that could sound acoustic. This is the the right guitar. Plugged into my Marshall AS50D acoustic amplifier I can get nearly acoustic guitar sound with a lot less wear and tear on my aging left hand. It is also great clean and with a bit of overdrive in my DV Mark Little Jazz amp. I've also been messing around with it unplugged late at night. The guitar has a bunch of other pickup and tone configuration. But if I never use it for anything else, I'm more than happy with it as a really light touch "acoustic" guitar.
