Have you ever been lazily strumming along to the national anthem and thought to yourself, “this sure would sound more patriotic if these chords were resonating off the wood from the one and only Liberty Tree?” If so, you’re in luck.

Taylor Guitars recently announced the Liberty Tree T5 as the latest addition to their ultra-exclusive Builder’s Reserve line. The guitar is a continuation of a limited run of “Liberty Tree” guitars Taylor began releasing in 2002 upon the acquisition of 80,000 pounds of the wood. The 50 T5’s to be produced will use the last of Taylor’s patriotic stock.
The guitar is a thinline semi-hollow body electric guitar with that signature Taylor acoustic flair, as is typical of the T5 family. Where the historic Annapolis Liberty Tree comes into play will be the guitar’s top, which will be made entirely from the tree’s wood with the exception of a Revolutionary-period inspired inlay where the guitar’s body meets the neck. Each of the fifty guitars will represent a unique state, numbered in order of entry into the Union.
Each Liberty Tree T5 will also include a commemorative case and documents detailing the building process signed by Bob Taylor himself.
