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 with POLYWEB® Coating have the warm tone and smooth response of "played-in" strings and reduce finger squeak.
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.
Features
Only coated string brand to protect the entire string with an ultra-thin coating, keeping gunk out of the gaps between the windings
Extended Tone Life – players report their tone lasts longer than any other string, uncoated or coated
Consistent performance and tone – ready to play whenever you are
Smooth feel that is easy on your fingers and enhances playability
Reduced finger squeak – good for both performance and recording
Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel Strings resist tone-deadening corrosion, ensuring a longer life for entire set
With less hassle and expense of frequent strings changes, spend more time making music

Made in America Solid lutz spruce top Solid Indian rosewood back and sides ES-2 pickup system V-Class bracing 1-3/4" neck width Comes with hard case
A versatile instrument suitable for a range of musical applications, the Grand Auditorium 714ce boasts a rich and dynamic voice. The Lutz spruce top responds with the sonic power and headroom of old-growth Adirondack spruce, with an extra splash of warmth across the tonal spectrum. Together with Taylor’s patented V-Class bracing scheme and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar resonates with spectacular power, clarity and sustain. One of the most inspiring attributes of the bracing architecture is the noticeably enhanced in-tuneness of the notes, with more harmonic agreement among chords and extra girth in upper-register notes. The result is a balanced, textured sound that’s rich in tonal nuance with enough dynamic range to support hard hitters and soft pickers alike. Aesthetically, the 714ce sports an aesthetic that balances rootsy and refined elements, featuring wood-rich details like koa binding, a herringbone-style Douglas fir/maple rosette, and bias-cut Douglas fir top trim, along with abalone Reflections fretboard and peghead inlays and a “weathered brown” pickguard. The guitar ships with ES2 electronics in a deluxe hardshell case.
Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Lutz Spruce
This natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce also shares characteristics with Adirondack spruce, responding with power, richness and volume.
Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.
V-Class Bracing
A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
