Can I use electric guitar strings on my acoustic guitar?
i have an extra electric guitar strings…and my acoustic needs new strings..is it ok to put the electric strings on my acoustic?
It is alright to put electric strings on an acoustic, but your tone will suffer. Electric strings on an acoustic will give you a very small, twangy, ultra-hi trebel sound…terrible. I recommend finding a local music shop and buying a $5-6 pack of acoustic strings instead.
My favorite acoustic strings would have to be the Ernie Ball coated acoustic strings. They aren’t cheap, but they last forever and don’t corrode.
Electric strings aren’t made to sound good acoustically (without amplification), they are made to interact well with your magnetic pickups. As such, they feature zinc (among other metals) that effects how they interact with your pickups. In short – electric strings sound good through electric amplification.
Acoustic strings are made to sound good via pure vibrations and aren’t designed to work well with magnetic pickups. These are usually treated with phosphor and/or bell-bronze to give it an acoustically pleasing sound. This is why most acoustic strings are a golden-yellow color. In short – acoustic strings will sound best on an acoustic guitar.
Extra hint – buy some string lube for your guitar to keep your strings from breaking. You can get black graphite (which can be found in pencil lead) as well as a less messy white ceramic version, called Graph-All, in a tube.
You put the lube on your nut (lets be mature) and your saddle and anything else the strings might rub up against (except the frets, lol) before you put the strings on, and viola! No more string breaks.
