D'Addario J27H06 Single Guitar String

D'Addario J27H06 Student Classics Sixth String — Hard Tension Replacement

The J27H06 is the dedicated sixth (low E) bass string from D'Addario's Student Classics series, sold individually as a replacement or for players who want to build a custom classical guitar set. It uses a silver-plated copper round-wound construction that matches the other basses in the EJ27H set, so a single replacement keeps the tonal balance intact across all six strings. Hard tension gives the low E a thicker, more resistant feel under the fingers and a fuller, more projecting sound than the normal-tension version. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this string is the right pick when one bass string has worn out or snapped and the rest of the set still sounds good.

Who This String Is For

This single replacement is the right choice for classical guitar students and adult players who need a new low E without buying a whole set. It fits any standard full-size classical guitar and matches the EJ27H Student Classics hard tension set, so swapping it in keeps the same warm, projecting voice the rest of the strings already have. Hard tension suits players who prefer a more resistant feel and a fuller low end — common among advancing students, fingerstyle players, and anyone moving up from a lighter tension. The tie-end construction means it attaches to the classical guitar bridge the traditional way, just like the original string it replaces.
