acoustic strings on electric

[shreddedsweeper]

any problem for that? Pickups will pick up the sound? I got a spare pack of daddario acoustic, wonder if it will do for my electric

 

[strats]

don't think so. might need a ferrous metal to pick up the vibrations.

 

[shreddedsweeper]

the neck wont warp or somethign right? Maybe acoustic strings have higher density and harder . . . maybe

it might work i guess... as ive seen acoustic guitars using magnetic pickups...

yup, the tension is way harder, experimented 1ce, for drop c tuning, think it was .11s, juz nice on mi strat

It would probably work, since essentially it would still cause a change in magnetic flux. How well however, is another story. Yeah I agree with Chanmin, I've seen accoustics with electric pickups before, so should be ok.

The one time I restrung my guitar with an acoustic string, it broke the moment I tried bending it, so like.. yeah.

ok i put it on my electric. everythign working fine, got a mellow tone 8O wasnt expecting that. Initially i was using .11, the current had .12 yeah my face crank when i bend

and there was abit more of relief compared to .11, a very little bit
