Since 1999 we've been factory-installing Elixir strings on all Taylor guitars. The move to Elixir marked the first significant change in Taylor's string program in many years. "When things are truly different and truly better I get very excited about them" Bob Taylor explains. "That's how I feel about Elixir strings, and that's why I made the decision to begin using them as standard equipment on Taylor guitars. I like the tone of Elixir strings, and they last and last, staying clean and brilliant to both the touch and the ear for much longer then I am used to."

One of the benefits to consumers and retailers alike is the simple fact that the NANOWEB coating is more resistant to string corrosion than other brands. That means that the customer auditioning Taylor guitars in a store will be able to judge its actual tone, and will be less likely to be turned-off by an uncharacteristically dull sound caused by dead, dirty strings that have been on the guitar for far too long.
