Would it sound OK to put electric guitar strings on my Crafter Acoustic?
Crafter guitars aren't known for being the best brand but my guitar was purchased with lousy rusty and nearly broken strings (on the edge of breaking) so if I replaced the strings with X-small electric guitar strings will it sound better or worse? Thanks!
Answer:
You don't harm the guitar by doing this as long as the guitar is a steel string acoustic. However, electric strings are nickel wound and don't sound well on acoustic steel string guitars.
Acoustic (steel) strings are wound with bronze of phosphor bronze - this has far better acoustic properties. The nickel winding on electric strings are designed to work with magnetic pickups - something the bronze/phosphor bronze don't do well.
Always use strings designed for the instrument at hand. Nylon string acoustic, steel string acoustic and electric guitars all use different type of strings for a reason.
Any set of light strings will do for your guitar. If the gauge is different than what has been used previously, then you may have someone adjusting the neck truss rod for you - a quick and easy procedure as long as you know what you're doing
