Curious about the strings that came on your new Taylor guitar? Since June 1, 1999, we’ve been installing Elixir Strings on all steel-string Taylor models, and currently we use Elixir’s ultra-thin NANOWEB design. In 2014, we switched from 80/20 Bronze to Phosphor Bronze on most steel-string acoustic models.
Correspondingly, do heavier gauge strings sound better?
Thicker strings will be louder than thinner strings without an amplifier because they have more mass, But that does not necessarily mean they sound better. Thinner strings make guitar soloing easier and are actually preferred by some of the heaviest sounding famous guitar players.
Keeping this in view, how do I choose guitar strings? Heavier strings will typically sound better on larger body guitars, while lighter strings sound better on smaller instruments. If your guitar’s body is big, medium to heavy gauge strings will sound better in its larger sound chamber.
