yeah i accidentally bought them for my warlock because they where the heaviest set in the store before i found out you could use bass strings and banjo strings and they worked just fine.
Answer
You can use acoustic metal strings, although they are heavy and might come up short. You cannot use acoustic nylon (gut) strings. The pickups rely on the metal string reacting with the magnetic field.

You shouldn't do this. They have different types of strings for a reason. But if you're still insistent upon trying it, make sure you have a professional guitar tech do this for you, because chances are, even if you use the exact same gauged strings, you will have to have your truss rod readjusted, which will cost more than buying strings that are made for an electric guitar.
Can you use acoustic guitar strings for acoustic electric?
using acoustic strings on an electric does not damage the guitar. tightening them too tight does. acoustic strings tend to be thicker than electric strings, so all you have to do is just tune lower to avoid putting too much stress on the neck. i just want to know why they use different materials to make them. ============ Answer No the strings are completely different. It would be much harder to play an electric even if for some reason you did put them on. And you definitely don't want to mix the two! ================ I'd be inclined to think that stringing thicker, shorter acoustic strings on an electric guitar would actually damage the electric guitar. It wasn't built to withstand that kind of string tension. The reverse can be done -- using electric strings on an acoustic guitar -- but you won't get a great deal of tone or attack. Great for a very easy-playing acoustic guitar for songwriting and low-volume playing, though.
