James · Post by **James** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 9:08 pm

Yup. From what I gather.

that link bubbles posted wrote:The first two strings of your instrument (high E and B) remain unchanged, and the lower four strings (G through low E) are tuned an octave above standard tuning.

Link clicker.

basically it's the octave strings of a 12 string, quite a nice sound. the kinda thing that if you had a spare guitar lying around, it'd be cool to have it setup in nashville tuning.

check out the song woman driving, man sleeping from souljacker. thats got nashville guitar on it.

juststrings.com has 'em for less than $4. i think i'm gonna buy some along with some mando strings and a set of d'addario chromes. my local shop doesn't sell any of these and it's probably cheaper to have them shipped to me than drive to a store that does carry them.

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:46 pm

chromes are real nice. i use chromes on my 335. flatwounds on hollow bodies are the bomb. wound 3rd's are the way!!!

Justin J · Post by **Justin J** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:47 pm

i don't have any hollowbodies. i'm gonna put the chromes on my jaguar.

Flatwounds of short scales are ORGASMIC - you won't be disappointed.

When I was building my Tele I did not have a set of strings to put on so I used all 10s tune to e. It was great fun.
