D'Addario EJ38H — Nashville Tuning Acoustic Guitar Strings

The D'Addario EJ38H phosphor bronze strings are purpose-built for guitarists who want to capture the shimmering, open character of a 12-string without picking up a second instrument. By replacing the bass strings with lighter-gauge strings tuned an octave higher — the defining feature of Nashville or High Strung tuning — these strings produce that distinctive jangly texture that cuts through any mix.

Key Features

• Material: phosphor bronze for warm tone with crisp high-end definition
• Gauge: 10-27, calibrated specifically for High Strung and Nashville Tuning
• Bass strings (E, A, D, G) tuned one octave higher than standard
• Built for studio layering, double-tracking, and recording applications
• Fits any standard 6-string acoustic guitar
• Manufactured by D'Addario with their established quality control process

Ideal For

The EJ38H strings are a go-to choice for studio guitarists and producers looking to add depth and shimmer to an arrangement. Double-tracking a guitar part with a Nashville-tuned acoustic creates a lush, transparent texture that fills the upper midrange of a mix — a technique widely used in country, folk, and pop production alike.
