specially for layering on a recording without clutter or overring/subsonics. |

Location: SoCal | I think there are some manufacturers who make specific "Nashville" sets. Otherwise, buy a set for a 12 string and just put on the octave strings.... |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I know that guys: what I meant was that by capoing high up on a 12 you can get some great effects as well: mandolin for example...Moody is right: actually D'Addario makes a set: EJ38s maybe... |

Location: Tennessee | D'Addario makes Nashville (EJ38H), but I just cannibalized some partial sets to make it work for me. I suppose I did a "modified" nashville ... I left the top four courses normal, and went up a whole octave on the A and Low E. You need a .008 for the A string high Octave to make it work. |

Location: SoCal | No Nashville tuning that I'm aware of for a 12 string (tune the whole thing with octave strings?). On a 6 string, Nashville means that the guitar was strung with just the octave strings from a 12 string set. It gives the guitar a high jangly sound. It's normally used in recording to overdub another guitar part, usually with the Nashville strung guitar capo'd way up the neck.
I did hear an award winning fingerpicker pick up and play his stuff on a guitar tuned Nashville. It was wonderful..... |
