A common pickup for an electric guitar consists of a coil of wire around a small permanent magnet Why will this type of pickup fail with nylon strings?

well nylon is non-magnetic , we have magnets in the pickups for a reason.

Are acoustic guitar strings thicker than electric guitar strings?
For the same gauge designation, yes. "Standard" or "Regular" gauge acoustic strings are .013 to .056. Those would be considered very heavy strings on electric guitar, where "Standard" or "Regular" gauge strings would be .010 to .046.
How do you adjust electric guitar pickups?
The screws around them adjust the height of them on most guitars. The closer to the strings, the more the pickup resonates the strings vibration. The further away from the strings, the less the pickup can resonates the strings vibration. If you have one pickup sounding louder than the other, move a pickup closer or further away from the strings to produce a better volume balance of the pickups.
Can you use acoustic guitar strings for acoustic electric?
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.
Why does the electric guitar have steel strings?
the insides of the strings are steel because they are a strong metal and it is magnetic so the magnets in the guitar pickups will you guessed it ...pick it up. the core metal tends to stick to steel but what the strings are wound with around can be nickel , bronze (acoustic strings) or just more steel depending on the sound. Steel is the highest sound , bronze is the lowest. the pro to using nickel is your guitars frets (metal that you press down to achieve notes) will last longer than with steel. Nickel strings tend to be cheaper and best of all 90% of strings are nickel.
What can I use instead of guitar strings?
nothing else will work in experience, I mean I looked around the house looking for ideas what to work for the thinnest string (high E) and nothing works. best advice go with a very heavy set it may take some time to get used to but heavy means thick strings, they dont break as fast and are the same price usually.

What are three ways electromagnet and a permanent are the same?
both are magnetic, both can be used to produce an electric current if around a wire
What is the different electromagnets and permanent magnet?
Electromagnets are non permanent magnets. They got magnetic field because of applied electric field. They lost their magnetic field which was around that, when the applied electric field is stopped. permanent magnets have magnetic property always with it. Permanent magnetic property loses when we heat the material. It cannot be regained once again. But electromagnets are capable of regaining its magnetic properties.
What is an armature made of?
The armature is the part of an electric generator or motor that contains the main current-carrying winding. It usually consists of a coil of copper wire that is wound around an iron or steel core. The coil and core are placed in a magnetic field, which is produced by one or more permanent magnets or electromagnets.
What are facts about bass guitars?
Here are some facts: *It is longer than an Electric Guitar. *It has four strings. *Its four strings are thick to produce a low sound. *Sometimes a Bass is used to play as a back-up in a song; it usually accompanies the guitar. *Many Bassists prefer to pluck the Bass strings with their fingers, rather than using a plectrum. *the Electric Bass only came around in about the time of the 1950's.
What role do electrons play in magnetism?
Magnetism is produced through electric currents. In the case of a permanent magnet, it is the electrons circling around the atomic nucleus that produces the magnetism (more atoms have one orientation than the opposite orientation).Magnetism is produced through electric currents.

What are some 3-D objects you see around the house?
Spoons, knives, guns, dildos, electric chairs, pencils, vibrators, doors, toasters, sinks, g-strings, the list goes on and on.
What is true about electric currents and magnets?
Sort of... In permanent magnets, magnetism is due to the movement of electrons around their atoms. Each atom is a small magnet, and there are more atoms aligned in one direction than in the other. If you consider the electron orbiting around the atom, or "spinning around its axis" as a "current", then yes.
