Electric Guitar strings are simply made for the quality of the pick-ups if you put electric guitar strings on an acoustic guitar it will have a low quality sound and if you put acoustic guitar strings on an electric guitar you will be luck to get much sound at all.

∙ 14y agoElectric strings are round wound and look ribbed. Double bass(upright) strings are flat wound and look smooth. Also electric strings are quite a bit shorter as their scale (length) is much less. Finally the most painful difference is price; upright strings cost $100 and up, way up. The good news is you dont change them nearly as often.

∙ 11y agoA solid body guitar has a body made from one or more pieces of a solid material, usually wood. This does not preclude hollow spaces or 'chambers' within the body to accommodate electronics or mechanical devices, or to reduce the body's weight. A semi-solid guitar is of similar construction, but has chambers designed specifically to modify the guitar's tone, usually including at least one sound-hole coupling the interior of the body to the surrounding air. The acoustic chambers give a semi-solid guitar a more mellow sound than a solid-body. A semi-acoustic guitar has a body with sides made from thin sheets of wood, often with a carved or pressed arched top and back. Some are completely hollow, while others (often called 'thin-lines') have solid interior blocks under the bridge and pickups to increase sustain and reduce the chance of acoustic feedback. Most, but not all have at least one sound-hole (exceptions include Gibson's B. B. King model and Hofner's 500/1 Violin Bass). The sound of a thin-bodied semi-acoustic is more mellow and 'open' than a solid or semi-solid, but still with ample sustain. Deep-bodied semi-acoustics are mostly used for playing jazz or rockabilly, and rarely have internal blocks. They tend to have a mellow sound with limited sustain. All the previous types use magnetic pickups. There is however a final type, the electro-acoustic (or 'electro') which is an acoustic guitar with a piezo-electric pickup inside the bridge, and this type is used for an amplified acoustic sound.

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.AnswerYou 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.
