814ce String Guage
What does the company reccommend you use on an 814, and what are people using?

The factory spec for all standard x14 models is light gauge, .012-.053. That's what I'm using on my 714, though the low E string on the DR Rare set is .001 bigger.

I hated the Elixir Nano Lights that came on my 814c. I wanted more bass and tried various sets of strings. I ended-up settling on Elixir Poly Med/Lights and I've been using them for over a year now. I like them a lot. Required a slight truss rod adjustment which I easily did myself.

I bought my 814ce SLIGHTLY used from a collector who found a brazillian rosewood that he thought better fit his collection.
At any rate, when I bought the guitar for him, he had D'Addario mediums on. I played it for about all of 20 minutes before I switched to lights. Recently I've considered switching back, mainly because my pick attack is somewhat aggressive. I'm wondering if a switch to the mediums will help to compensate for my style. I have drawn back a bit off of the strings because my Taylor sounds better when you're not going at it so hard (unlike my Martins). Now I'm just rambling. . .
