Hey, An acoustic guitar can have 4 strings (bass) or 6 strings (normal acoustic) or 12 strings ... a 6 string guitar has a tuning of E,A,D,G,B,E, and a 12 string guitar has a tuning of E,E,A,A,D,D,G,G,B,B,E,E ... In additon to this there are many other tunings such as dadgag and drop d etc. as long as there is a guitar in a particular song, you can preety much play it on your guitar. but most electrics have like 22 or 24 frets and many guitar solos are played on the 2nd octave (i.e. 12th to 24th fret) and acoustic Guitars usually dont have 22 frets..so as long as you're tuned right and have sufficent frets , its possible to play any song..

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.


Can an acoustic guitar have 4 strings?

Some acoustic guitars have only 4 strings, such as an acoustic bass or ukelele, but you will still be able to play some notes and chords on a 6-string missing 2, though not effectively. BUT... if you watch the video clip of the B-52's Rock Lobster, you will notice the guitarist only has the top 2 strings and the rest are removed, though he didn't seem to play any chords, just single strings.
