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.
Restringing an acoustic steel string guitar with nylon strings?
You can do it, I've done it. Your neck will need to be adjusted. The sound level will be greatly reduced. Still it will be much easier on your' fingers. Remember to buy the strings with the little balls on the end.
What are the easiest acoustic guitar strings to play and have the best sound For an Acousticelectric guitar?
the best string size for this is 8-38 but their very quiet and break easily. its best to just stick with light gauge 9-42 until your fingers develop strength. Think of it like weight training. My advice is to lower the action as its much easier if your strings are low to the fretboard and of course lower tunings aren't as brutal to your fingers.
Does an electric guitar need intonation with new strings?
No. It doesn't NEED intonation when you change the strings, and most people don't intonate their guitars when they put a new set of strings on, but your guitar will be slightly more in tune if you do chose to intonate it. Also, if the new strings you use are a different gauge, it would be a good idea to intonate your guitar, because there's a different amount of tension on the neck and bridge.
Why is the thickness greater for the bass strings of a guitar than for the trble strings?

Can nylon strings and plain steel strings be used in an acoustic guitar?
You need to match the string type to the design of the guitar. You also need to consider if the added tension of steel strings can be supported by the guitar. Given all that, you can use different string types, but sometimes you need to adjust intonation by altering the neck tension and bridge position. The bottom line, assuming the guitar can handle it, is how pleased you are with the sound and touch.
Which is good -acoustic or semi acoustic?
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.
Why is it that on a acoustic guitar when you strum you cannot hear a clear sound from the strings which you hold down?
