Taylor Elixir Strings?

[otis66]

When Taylor guitars are shipped from the factory, what type of exlirs strings are installed? Nano Web 80/20 or Phosphor Bronze?

80/20 Bronze.  The website will give you the string gauge
for each individual guitar style.

Thanks.

And since yer askin, you may want to try out a set of same gauge nanos in PB.  Depending on the guitar and your taste, you may prefer them for their deeper, less-zingy tone.  Or not

BTW, welcome aboard!

Just curious how you know this.  It doesn't say 80/20 on the website as far as I could see.

Well, I'm holding in my hand "Taylor's guitar string-guide" Placed in the case when purchasing a new guitar. And it says my guitar is strung with elixir 80/20 bronze w/nanoweb.

Can't argue with your evidence!

My new GA3 (built in 2012) just has a little Elixir flyer that says "you're guitar is equipped with Elixir nanoweb strings" without mentioning what type.  The only thing from Taylor on strings is how to change strings.  I will try the PB when I change mine and see which I like better.

I requested that mine be shipped with Elixir nanoweb mediums. I assume (since we're talking about Taylor here) it will be shipped already set up properly with those strings, so I shouldn't have to get it set up upon arrival like I usually do.

I think these "string guide folders" are kind of new. Have never seen them with my pervious Taylor's.
You should definitely try out PB next time. They are not that bright. But I think they feel a little bit harder on my fingers. But that's just me.....I think

To me elixir is the preferred string type. I have tested some Daddario's. They are quite good, but that's just the first 3 hours....
