You would use nyloon strings.
No, acoustic guitar strings are different from electric guitar strings. Acoustic guitar strings are usually made of bronze or brass, while electric guitar strings are typically made of nickel or steel. The differences in material and construction affect the sound and playability of each type of guitar.
The type of guitar strings you need depends on the type of guitar you have. Acoustic guitars typically use steel strings, while classical guitars use nylon strings. Electric guitars use steel strings as well. Make sure to choose the right gauge (thickness) of strings for your playing style and preference.
There are six(6) strings just like any normal guitar of any type.
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.
If by "classic acoustic guitar" you mean the small bodied, slotted-headstock type of guitar commonly called simply a "classical" guitar, the answer is an emphatic NO. Any type of steel strings on a true classical guitar will ruin it. Classical guitars must be strung with nylon or gut strings only.
An acoustic guitar produces sound via the "sound hole" cut out in the wood under the strings on the main part of the guitar. This is a nice acoustic sound. For a fuller, higher volume and amplitude sound, with the same acoustic-type sound one would would a semi-acoustic. This is an acoustic guitar that has the same kind of volume boost built in, as one would find on an electric guitar. It is important to note that the sound made with a semi-acoustic is still quite different from an electric guitar, even though one would need an amp to play the semi-acoustic.
Nylon strings are lower tension in comparison to steel strings and have a warmer tone than steel string, thus making steel strings higher tension than nylon with a brighter tone than nylon strings.
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.
A classical guitar is a type of acoustic guitar with nylon strings, a wide neck, and a flat fingerboard. It is used primarily for playing classical music. The main difference between a classical guitar and other types of guitars, such as steel-string acoustic or electric guitars, is the type of strings used and the sound produced.
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.
if you are taking about the guage of strings it depends on what you prefer. if you want them to bend easily go light. pick medium if you want them to be heavier.
Its a guitar that relies on acoustics in the wood whereas an electric relies mainly on the amplifier to create the sound. Country music is primarily played on acoustic and rock, metal, grunge, etc. is normally played on electric.
