Yes, if the gauges are similarly matched to a set of standard guitar strings made for that particular guitar. Violin strings are flatwound, so the tone would be more muted, nice for an archtop jazz guitar. Normal modern guitar strings are roundwound, making the tone brighter and more zingy.

∙ 12y agoIt may be possible, but it is certainly not ideal. Guitar strings are much longer than violin strings due to the contrasting length of the instruments. Furthermore, the gauge is important due to the string/tension mechanisms of the instruments. Using the wrong type of strings may cause serious damage to your instrument.
Even if you were to get them to fit without causing harm, trying to produce a decent sound is another issue entirely.
