Hi,
I have an acoustic/classical guitar with nylon strings that has spruce top. The back and sides of the guitar are made out of catalpa wood.

It is primarily an ornamental tree. The wood is too soft to use as lumber, but it is sometimes used in acoustic guitars. It is also used to attract and hold Catalpa Worms, which are used for fishing

No, it is not recommended to use electric guitar strings on an acoustic guitar as they are designed for different types of guitars and can affect the sound quality and playability of the acoustic guitar.
Technically, yes—you can put electric guitar strings on an acoustic guitar, but it's not recommended for long-term use. Electric strings are made from materials like nickel or steel and are designed for magnetic pickups, while acoustic guitar strings are typically bronze or phosphor bronze, built to produce rich, resonant tones acoustically. Using electric strings on an acoustic guitar may result in: Lower volume and duller tone, since electric strings don’t vibrate the soundboard as effectively. Possible buzzing or tuning issues, due to the difference in tension and thickness. Reduced playability, especially if the guitar's nut and bridge aren't adjusted for the thinner strings. At Smiger Guitar, we recommend choosing the right type of string for your instrument to ensure optimal sound and performance. For acoustic players, sticking with high-quality acoustic strings will always bring out the best in your guitar.

The wood used to make any kind of guitar is based on density, weight and above all, its acoustic sounding properties. Generally favored among reputable guitar manufacturers are blackwood, maple, cedar (though light and expensive is quite strong), cypress or similar. The neck is often made from rosewood which is fairly strong.
