D’Addario EJ38H phosphor bronze high-strung acoustic guitar strings are designed for Nashville tuning, a popular setup used to add shimmer, clarity, and octave brilliance to acoustic recordings and live performances.

High-strung (also known as Nashville tuning) replaces the lower four strings of a standard acoustic guitar set with lighter-gauge strings tuned one octave higher. This creates a bright, chiming texture that complements standard-tuned acoustic guitars beautifully.

Manufactured in the USA, EJ38H strings use D’Addario’s precision-drawn phosphor bronze wrap wire to deliver a warm low end, crisp highs, and excellent note definition.

D’Addario EJ38H high-strung strings are a favourite among producers, session players, and songwriters looking to add depth and sparkle to acoustic arrangements. When paired with a standard-tuned acoustic guitar, Nashville tuning creates a rich, 12-string-like effect without the added tension.
