I have tried a number of "hybrid" guitars over the years and have found that most favor acoustic or electric but not both. Probably the best I've heard is the Tom Anderson Crowdster Plus (and Plus2) which has electric PuPs specifically designed for the wound acoustic strings, and it gives quite a decent electric sound as well as a very good acoustic sound ...at a price though!!!!
With the introduction of the Taylor T5 Classic version a while ago which is a no frills, satin finished T5 at a fairly decent price I have started to look at these again. A few used T5 Classics are becoming available in the USA now and again at quite good prices as well. I have been communicating with someone who has added a Baggs Element UST on a T5 with nice acoustic results and very little modification - a separate output socket only. This was always a weak pint IMO of the T5.
Anyway, I was interested to know of anyone else's opinions or experiences of the T5?
