Unless they're endorsed it usually says. I like Dean Markley ones, but as long as they last and stay in tune you can be using the cheapest and it won't make much difference after the first week or so sound wise.

Answer

Soloist/bands use whatever they are paid to use. Session musicians tend to be more selective; they chase their signature sound. And strings that sound good on one setup could sound flat and dull on another; good on an ibi, sad on a tele. Time and choice will find the best for you.

Traditionally the classical guitar was strung with gut strings, however modern classical Guitars are strung with what are refereed to as nylon strings.

The highest three nylon strings (tunned to E, B and G in standard tunning) are usually a single thick string of nylon. This is usually transparent from most manufacturers, however there are some variations. The lower three strings (tunned to D, A and E in standard tunning) typically consist of a collection of long nylon strands as their core with a winding of a metal alloy as an outer layer, simular to that found on the lower strings of an electric guitar.

If by "classic acoustic guitar" you mean the small bodied, slotted-headstock type of guitar commonly called simply a "classical" guitar, the answer is an emphatic NO.

You shouldn't do this. They have different types of strings for a reason. But if you're still insistent upon trying it, make sure you have a professional guitar tech do this for you, because chances are, even if you use the exact same gauged strings, you will have to have your truss rod readjusted, which will cost more than buying strings that are made for an electric guitar.
