Transcending Taylor tonewood recipe





The big leaf maple top and Urban ash tonewood formula is quickly becoming the standard within the Tz5 electric guitar line. The Custom Catch #37 employs its facets for superior tone and remarkable visual charm. From a sonic standpoint, Urban ash supplies dense and clean sound with exceptional projection and resonance, further served with the subtle earthy tones of a figured big leaf maple top. It all comes down to Taylor's standard T5z body shape, bearing a hollowbody design and extremely ergonomic form factor for controlled playability and beaming acoustic performance. Take it from Sweetwater's 6-string specialists: if you're looking for the best of both sides on the acoustic/electric spectrum, you can't go wrong with the Custom Catch #37.

Acoustic appointments bearing stark electric mobility





Acoustic or electric? As with most of Taylor's T5z instruments, the answer is both. Appointments such as a Crelicam ebony bridge and a micarta saddle supply the bulk of the Custom Catch #37's acoustic makeup, while a unique T5z body shape, a T5Z neck profile, and onboard electronics sport the best of the best in electric-style navigation. Furthermore, Taylor tuning machines and hardware ensure optimal tuning stability between sets. Complete with electric-inspired looks, the Custom Catch #37 harbors a lick of familiarity in both acoustic and electric-centered guitarists.





Innovative electronics





The Custom Catch #37 features a whole new generation of electronics. Two pickups ? a concealed neck humbucker and a visible bridge humbucker ? produce a truly impressive range of electric guitar tones, while an acoustic body sensor system delivers breathtaking acoustic sounds. Inspired by Taylor’s acclaimed Expression acoustic guitar amplification systems, the T5z body sensors are overwound to produce sparkling highs and shimmer for the most acoustic-like tone possible. A 5-way selector offers a wide spread of possible combinations for full electric, full acoustic, or hybrid tones with additional onboard tone-tweaking controls for volume, bass, and treble.
