I have 8 gauge electric guitar strings on my acoustic. It’s definitely not as loud but it’s an ideal practice guitar that’s really helped me play for hours without blowing out my hands
It would work alot better if you set the guitar up for the strings. I.E. adjusting the truss rod to equal the tension, reset intonation, and most importantly increase the action to provide the space nesscary for vibration. Maybe also getting a custom made nut to provide needed height? would never recommend doing this because i cant expect it to be worth the while, just wanted to put it out there that It would probably be possible, same way you wouldnt be able to use 14 gauge drop D tuned strings on a guitar set up for ultralight 7 or 8 gauge strings.
This is so wrong. First of all, do you know that magnetic pickups for acoustic guitars exist? Or that the unwound strings as well as the cores of the wound strings are made from exactly the same material between acoustic and electric? Or the fact that there’s no silver in nickel-silver? Or that silver isn’t a magnetic metal anyway?
You’re definitely right. My research for this video was my experience putting acoustic strings on an electric and the guitar becoming completely unplayable. And in my experience, when plugged into an amp, only a reallllly faint buzz came out. (So faint that I assumed it was normal feedback and not even related to the strings) I assumed it was because of the bronze not being magnetic, but after looking into magnetic pickups for electric guitars, apparently 80/20 bronze/phosphor strings are still magnetic enough to send a signal. But - the bronze does muddy that signal compared to what you get with nickel strings. So now I’m thinking the lack of signal had way more to do with the warped neck than with the magnets. I think the bronze strings still played a factor, but it probably had way more to do with the weak vibration. As for the silver: I was speaking from memory, but was objectively wrong. Silver is not magnetic. I’ll cut that part out! Thanks for the comment. I’m definitely still learning and honest feedback helps
I used to put electric guitar strings on acoustic and it was decent enough. ok I did that only when the high E string used to break and I would put it on the acoustic
All this is a lie. Electric and accoustic strings are made of metal so IT WILL generate electric current in coil by wibrating in electric field. And it WILL NOT destroy guitar because there are many different gauge of strings for different tunings and you have TRUSS ROD for adjust strings acction.
Now thats weird, cus I accidently cut my g String on my acoustic guitar too short, so I had the idea to put it on my eletric guitar as a D String instead of throwing it out, and it worked perfecty. As if it had a golden tooth
What are you talking about? Electric and accoustic strings are made of metal so IT WILL generate electric current in coil by wibrating in electric field. If you thinking that only ferromagnetic can generate current then I bet you didn't hear about something like eddie current? And it WILL NOT destroy guitar because there are many different gauge of strings for different tunings and you have TRUSS ROD for adjust strings acction.
You don't have to use 12s or 13s...you can get acoustic 9s too...earthwood 12 string set extra lights are 9s. And the pickups will work...the cores and high 3 strings are steel.
i needed strings, and bc is cheapear(i live in brazil) I bought acoustic string.. in my guitar it sounds really great, and I liked because the gauge is low
If theres more tension on the neck than the relief is greater, so there would be more room for the strings to vibrate. Right?! The neck bends forward. If the strings have LESS tension, the neck bows backwards, and the strings have no room. PRETTY SURE.
it doesn't break or bend your guitar stevie ray vaughan used the same gauge strings just electric on his guitars 13's sometimes even thicker you just adjust your truss rod a little
U just tune down to D or C to relieve the tension….I’m disabled & im in a bad predicament right & putting this set of acoustic strings im about to put on is my only option because I’m poor, & can’t drive, & I only hav this set acoustic strings around the house….I watched another vid where it all worked out quite nicely….I guess if u have the action on ur electric so low that only spider web thin electric strings will work, then ur vid is possibly true…also, Stevie ray vaughan used 13’s…….idk, anyway, wish me luck🥰🥰🥰
I think by now tonewood has ben throuougly debunked for electrics. The only thing I can think of that affects tone is the fretboard wood, but that could also just be BS too. That said, it never hurts to have a good solid wood for your guitar body so it wont get damaged as much

Hands down the most informative video i’ve ever seen that’s made me SHART my pants. Good shit dude. you’ve earned my subscription
Is sound hole the technical term?
Sure is
Aural orifice.
Mouth
I believe it’s called a “Guitussy”
Yes 😂
Dude I love your videos. You def earned another sub 👍
This is all bullsit
Thanks for the daily uploads 👍🦶
bro has finally got the upload season and i am all here for it

That ending. Spat my coffee 🤣
YOU!! you, yee you is very excellent
Nickel strings on acoustic guitars rule though. Just make sure you get a set with a wound G.

Redlight blue finally uploading almost every day
It's sounds just fine. I use them on my Cb Floyd Rose guitar
(C flat)
i put some on my washburn guitar n it sounds amazing
can you use the high e and b string of an acoustic string pack on an electric guitar?
Pretty cool! I didn't know that!

i first ran a full set of acoustic strings before getting my own set on an electric because my friend had extra and they worked fine
They have steel cores so it works alr, you've just gotta adjust the action
I used to play acoustic guitar with electric guitar string and acoustic pickup for 1 year before I got a real electric guitar. It worked
what about the other way around? electric guitar strings on an acoustic

what do electric strings sound on acoustic guitars
Less loud
what about putting electric strings on acoustic? I've seen some people do it before
If steel string consist iron,damn it will somehow work on electric guitar
The more you know ~
I guess there’s a reason people never do this…
I ❤️ you
If theres more tension on the neck than the relief is greater, so there would be more room for the strings to vibrate. Right?! The neck bends forward. If the strings have LESS tension, the neck bows backwards, and the strings have no room. PRETTY SURE.
What would happen if the sound went into my mouth instead???😢 will i eated the music denying others the chance to hear it+?!?!?!?
Looks like I’ve got another video idea
Is silver magnetic?
I made a mistake

what about electric guitar strings on an acoustic
🤔🤔
I never realized how much you sound like Dave Grohl trying to disguise his voice! haha.
i've been exposed
@@RedlightBlue 😉
What about electric strings on acoustic
I can't keep up stop making so many videos
best chamnal out there
agreed 🤝
longest 1 minute video
You know what they say, time slows when the video sucks
But what if you put electric strings on an acoustic?!
Good things
yall heard him!!! it's all magnets! tonewood isn't a thing for electric instruments!
I think by now tonewood has ben throuougly debunked for electrics. The only thing I can think of that affects tone is the fretboard wood, but that could also just be BS too. That said, it never hurts to have a good solid wood for your guitar body so it wont get damaged as much
Silver is magnetic now? I don't think so!
oops, gonna cut that out
@@RedlightBlue now that's service!
an electric guitar wont break if you put 12s on it and tune it to e standard......... there was a super popular guitarist who used 13s on an electric
Horrible Misinformation but good job being concise!!
