Are Ernie ball slinky strings (nickel wounded) made for electric guitars?
If yes, can I use them on my acoustic guitar and will it sound great??
Nickel Wound strings are going to sound far less than great on an acoustic guitar. yes Nickel Wound is primarily for electric. they will work on acoustic but your going to have a very dull sound and tone. you need to either take them back where you got them and ask to swap them for BRONZE acoustic strings or just get a new pack. so again you want Bronze acoustic guitar strings, if you want a deep but bright rich tone go for something heavy in gauge like no less than 11 for your high E and no less than 50 on your low E and that's even light in my opinion.
today I just bought Ernie ball regular slinky (10 gauge) strings and I think it was made for electric guitars.. am I right?? If they're made for electrics can I use it for my acoustic ?? it's nickel wound ... will it sound great?
Yes, ask the music store for help with this. I wouldn't waste time or money putting those strings on. Acoustic strings will sound way better.

Extra Slinky Did I string my guitar wrong?? Buzzing sound?
I recently put extra slinky Ernie Ball strings on my electric guitar (which is a shitty Sx strat model). The A and D strings make a horrible buzzing noise when I press down on the strings from the first to the fifth fret. It's only these two strings so I was wondering what was causing this problem? And I am pressing down on the strings hard enough and close enough to the frets. No matter how hard I press the buzzing still persists!
Thanks in advanced!
Lighter gauge strings are easier on the fingertips, but require a more delicate technique. If you are used to playing with heavier strings, you will either need to adjust your picking force or raise the action slightly. Best regards, Dana
