Acoustic Electric Guitar Strings
Are electric guitar strings different than acoustic?
My friend let me borrow his electric guitar so i can practice on it because i play acoustic guitar. He is missing a string and im just curious if i ca put my spare acoustic string on it? i dunno just a thought
Yes, you can put an acoustic guitar string on an electric guitar, but you cannot put an electric guitar string on an acoustic guitar. However, acoustic guitar strings start on the high E at about .13 in guage, and electrics normally start around .09 or .10. While that may not sound like a big difference, it will feel different. Also, acoustic strings are meant for a shorter scale than electrics.
You can go pick up guitar strings for around $5-$7 in most music stores. I would suggest getting whatever their cheapest brand of strings are, I'd guess you wouldn't know the difference. And get yourself either .09 or .10 guage strings for an electric guitar.

can i put electric guitar strings on my acoustic guitar?
can i put electric guitar strings on my acoustic guitar?
Hey:
Surprisingly, some acoustics don't sound bad at all with electric guitar strings on them. Quite a few of my guitar playing friends do it. I also have a 1977 Ovation that I use nothing but electric strings on. Easier on the fingers, and, has a great sound when I mic it for recording.
While it definitely won't hurt the guitar, the sound it has when using electric strings IS different from acoustic strings, and, is a matter of preference.
Hope this has helped, and keep playin!
