Title: Just bought a T5z used online.....anything to look out for?
Post by: CRFAn1 on July 10, 2021, 03:20:45 PM
So I just picked up a nice 2013 T5z Standard from Guitar Center Used and I was wondering if there was anything to look out for issue wise on these guitars?  Always wanted one and I hope its not a dud, lol.  Good thing is I have 45 days to return it no questions asked.....

Congrats ...I like the "z" model over the regular T5. 
Nothing outside the obvious to look for with these as they are "solid" guitars ...you know what I mean ;).  Action, playability, no dead/buzzing notes throughout, yada yada.

But beyond the norms, I would absolutely recommend playing plugged in and going through all the pup combinations and using the knobs more than you normally would within the 45-day window.  Electronics are always something to keep an eye on when contemplating a used guitar.
