Product Description
What Elixir say....
Elixir® Strings is the #1 acoustic guitar string in the US*. Elixir Strings retain their tone longer than any other string, uncoated or coated, according to players.
Elixir Strings Acoustic Phosphor Bronze with NANOWEB Coating deliver distinctive phosphor bronze warmth and sparkle together with extended tone life that players have come to expect from Elixir Strings. The #1 selling US acoustic guitar string, Elixir Strings, provide consistent performance, smooth feel and reduce finger squeak. With less hassle and expense of frequent string changes, you enjoy more time making music.
The difference between our coatings lies in the tone and feel. Strings with NANOWEB® Coating sound and feel like conventional, uncoated strings--they are bright and lively, and the coating is so thin that you can barely tell it's there.
Strings with POLYWEB® Coating have a balanced tone and smooth response--they sound like strings that have been perfectly “played in." They are comfortably smooth and help reduce finger squeak.

With less hassle and expense of frequent strings changes, spend more time making music
Made in America Grand Pacific body shape Solid sitka spruce top Solid sapele back and sides ES-2 pickup system V-Class bracing 1-3/4" neck width Comes with hard case
The Grand Pacific 317e, featuring our new round-shoulder dreadnought body voiced with Taylor’s award-winning V-Class bracing, helps usher in a whole new Taylor sound. Notes blend smoothly together to produce a warm and seasoned acoustic voice with clear low-end power. Built with solid sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the guitar’s tonal response sits comfortably between the dry, focused character of mahogany and the harmonically complex sound of rosewood. The body’s wider waist helps produce a strong bass response, but without the woofiness that can sometimes plague bigger-body guitars. That low-end clarity blends evenly with the guitar’s mids and highs, yielding a rich, dynamic tone with notes that overlap into a seamless whole. Our V-Class bracing, tailored for the Grand Pacific body, dials up the power and sustain, along with improved intonation, making this a versatile tool for jamming with other musicians, playing alongside a vocalist, or embarking on solo adventures. This edition comes equipped with our onboard ES2 electronics, and thanks to the clarity of the low-end frequencies, the guitar will be less inclined to feed back in amplified settings, making it a reliable partner for plugged-in applications. Whatever your musical calling, the Grand Pacific 317e will make an inspiring companion.
