Good demo, thanks. I have several acoustics with pickups and I almost never play them unplugged. In that case, electric strings sound just fine and are much kinder to my fingers. Easier to bend and slide, easier to make those bar chords. Tone is not an issue , because it's totally controlled using the equalizer in the amp.

[@wayneknazek7362]

I've been using standard Fender or Ernie Ball 1046's on my acoustics for years. I either mic them or use a pick up, so EQ isn't an issue. EQ your mic if you lose a little low end. As a performer who has been gigging since 1965 I can tell you, NO ONE will notice any difference when you play for them. And the box is WAY easier to play.

I have an old guitar with super-high action. It was hard to play, so I put an Ernie Ball Turbo Slinky set on it, and it plays great now. It sounds just as loud and full as ever because of the high action.

[@sidgar1]

Adjust the truss rod, there might be excessive bow in the neck. If not, shave down the saddle bone (from the underside, not the top where the strings come into contact), it might be too high. Otherwise, the saddle is pulling and bowing up too much from the tension of the strings. Might need a good inspection and setup by a luthier.

Actually I don’t disagree about the acoustic strings having a fuller sound/balanced equalization of the string note tones! Certainly the advantage to overall sound quality vs electric strings! However, if you like the playability of electric strings, you can try extra light acoustic as a compromise without having to drop your guitar off at guitar center and pray they don’t mess things up when getting “set-up”…

[@jimmyb4982]

[@imbateman]

I keep a beat up old acoustic strung-up with electric strings and it's fun to play. If you're strumming songs at a campfire or playing a coffee shop, obviously not. If you want to experiment with different sounds or to practice electric guitar without plugging in, it's a great and affordable option.

[@blartslimpson8967]

The trick is is by using the thinnest nylon pick to soften up those sharp notes. You’re welcome.

[@bolt4694]

How could you not mention string guages for both.

[@jimcamp2423]

Yep, that's my gripe with this video, an apples to apples, not apples & oranges comparison. Because at a certain gauge, and that would be 12's (12-53's) that 3rd string is wound not coated. The Applause by Ovation I have comes with D'Addario 12-53's EXP11's. And tone from those is even going to be different from Phosphur or Silks ? I'm thinking the nickel wound/coated combination of the E Ball electric strings are going to approximate the 80/20 Bronze for brightness with the difference being the nickel vs copper as plugged in for signal, even acoustically for vibrational properties. End of the day, the cool distractions of the commentary during the scientific test are unnecessary, even annoying. This test was a waste of time to present for anyone wanting to know the true differences in the strings. I figure in the same gauges, electric strings become a 4th option of acoustic with an even stronger and similarly lighter tone as the 80/20 bronze (actually a misnomer as it's copper that is used). I bet you can even put acoustic electric nylon strings as some acoustic electrics have those installed in the same gauges ?

Very nice sound that's a good balance between brightness & warmth. Nickel Wound Strings tend to outlast 80/20 Bronze & Phosphor Bronze Strings.

[@garyrussell5559]

Electric Strings on an Acoustic guitar is a great option for kids learning the guitar. They can persevere with the guitar practice a lot longer without getting really sore fingers. Probably a good option for older people picking up a guitar late in life as well. I have midi sized acoustic with electric strings on it sitting by my computer which I can pick up and grab if some interesting music comes up on KZbin. It lets you learn acoustic or electric riffs. Sometimes you want a guitar thats a little bit quieter but more realistic than an unplugged electric. It actually sounds pretty good plugged in as well. So I wouldnt knock it. My other acoustic has a set of 13s Piano wound strings on it which are like playing fencing wire. Aesome sound . You dont want to have arthritis with those ones on though.

[@je19662008]

I've always been partial to bright sounds and for that, electric guitar strings definitely fit the bill. As for the loss of bass, you might want to go with a heavier gauge for the bottom strings. Like maybe a .052 for the 6th string and using a set with a wrapped G string as well. But you're right about the buzz. That is a constant problem. I own an Ovation Standard Balladeer LX (my heart sank when I found out Ovations are no longer being made). I've always been partial to Ovations because of their bright sound and greater "acoustic push." But they're a bitch to set up because the one hexhead beneath the top is impossible to reach.

You didn’t mention that if you use an unwound G string, you’ll need to get a new saddle because the compensation will be incorrect.

[@rigormoritz]

I used to have a beat up cheap travel 3/4 acoustic guitar that my sister dropped after she got disinterested in learning to play. I slapped some 11s on that guitar (didn't have anything else lying around at the moment) and never went back. It was my favorite guitar to play. I wasn't looking for a beautiful, melodic or serene sound out of it. Even when setup properly it wasn't a great sounding guitar. But having 11s on it gave it some grit I found pleasing. I probably wouldn't do that with a Martin. But cheap, flawed guitars have their own charm for me.

[@chiquiabello4372]

Yes, there's a difference in tone. I think it's one most audiences won't notice and can be mostly mitigated by EQ, so if you can make the mental adjustment, should be ok for folks who prefer a lighter feel.

[@MrMetalclay]

Electric strings for the win. I also think they stay cleaner and last longer than acoustic strings.

[@The_Cadaver]

I think most acoustic guitars aren't designed to make fine adjustments at low tension. A lot is in the fingers too, but I suspect that the truss rod is the inherent limitation when it comes to trying this.

[@Goosemeyer]

I’ve always done this, the only drawback is the unwound g intonation is always slightly off

[@mk_rexx]

I don't know if I'm too late but DON'T put steel strings on a classical guitar. A classical guitar's structure is only meant to withstand the tension of nylon strings and it could break if you put steel strings on it.

[@Stratocus]

This is not really a valid demo and not a fair comparison because the electric strings being use are probably 10s or 11s. How about using a set of Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky? Gauges .012 .016 .024p .032 .044 .056 compared with a light set of acoustic strings of .012 .016 .025 .032 .042 .054. And if you prefer a wound third (G) Ernie Ball does a .24 or .26 wound. Nickel steel strings last longer than 80/20 bronze or phosphor bronze. And if you use a comparably gauged set of electric strings you won't need to make any set-up adjustments to the guitar.

[@robertnewell5057]

Nickel/monel strings are favoured by loads of acoustic players, most notably Ton Rice, at the gauges you mention

[@JoshuaPolak]

You can use D'addario EJ20s which are essentially Nickel Wound Extra Light Gauge Acoustic/Electric Guitar Strings.

[@cratecruncher6687]

I'm a strat player that recently bought an acoustic. I noticed right away the G string was dull and wouldn't bend like my strat and that I had to press much harder to fret each note on all the strings. So I slapped some Slinkys on the acoustic and noticed a brighter G right away. Not much difference in B and high E but the low E was noticeably weak and raspy. A and D weren't as full but not as bad as low E which was pathetic. I also had to loosen the truss rod a smidge to raise the action compensating for less tension from the strings. I think I learned from this experiment that I really prefer an unwound G string! The rest I can live with. Wasn't it Eric Clapton that started the unwound G on electrics back in the '60s? Sacrilege, haha! Contrary to what Baldy said, electric strings are LESS stressful for an acoustic. It won't hurt your guitar.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Wait a minute there are Electric Guitar string sets that have the same gauges as Acoustic Guitar strings such as the EJ20s which are Nickel Wound versions of Extra Light Acoustic Guiar strings. Electric Guitar strings have a warmer & darker sound than Acoustic Guitar strings so they're ideal for brighter instruments, & they also outlast bronze strings as they don't tarnish as much.

[@MrJackal43]

[@japonaliya]

I think some miss the point... It also depends on your style of playing and what type of music. I am a mostly lead blues rock player who just recently bought a couple of acoustics. I am used to bending strings rather than play single note runs. I use. 09 on my electrics, sometimes. 08. Even using "rock/blues" plain G in. 10 gauge was very hard for me. I don't finger pick or play like an acoustic player. I play Delta and Chicago style blues but mostly std. tuning. As people said, I can equilize the low end or just live with it like many old bluesmen with Sears & Roebuck Stella's...

[@aarons7836]

i like the feel and sound of electric strings on an accoustic more than accoustic on accoustic. But for those who want to do it, makw sure you get heavier gauge electric guitar strings meant for drop c or drop b tuning. otherwise you would be tuned a whole octave higher.

Soundwise, the acoustic strings will be more useful for a solo guitarplayer/singer because it has a fuller sound. If in a band, the electric strings will suit better because the sound is more subtle and the low end will be handled by the bass player anyway.

I wish I had used electric strings on my acoustic since day one. Would have given me what I needed. I was lead guitarist and needed to cut through, which I do now since I changed to electrics strings (not on all acoustics though). I can adjust the neck's truss rod by myself, no big deal.

[@thewhodatbroadcastingsyste9908]

A lot depends on the tone or needs of the player. I've experimented widely with my trusty old Yamaha FG, and currently have .07 electric strings for acoustic blues. It's very easy to bend with my older hands (pushing 60 now), and a light touch is mandatory. I've tried mixing sets, nylon strings, and other odd stuff on that old guitar for sounds I liked, and it's fun messing around with a knockabout guitar I don't use on stage. I can see the poster's point with a nice Martin, but if I had my best friend's Martin Alternate X (the metal topped one), it might not be a bad experiment, as those had a tendency to have heavier strings pull the bridge off.

[@YIDARMY08]

[@hussydahustla]

Same! My first guitar has a special place for me, so even though the neck was warped slightly and the action was terrible I kept it. Took it to the guitar shop the other day for a set up and they slapped on some super light electric strings on and since then action is much better and it's more fun to play. Makes me want to pick it up more again.

I have a very nice solid top guitar but recently bought a new Yamaha F370 as a beater for open mic. It has a short scale length of 634mm (25”) and a great neck so is extremely easy on the fingers, even with 012 gauge strings. In fact, I did try 011s and hated them as they cut into my fingertips. Seriously, if you want a straightforward, budget guitar that sounds great and is easy on the fingertips, try an F370 and fit some quality 012 strings. Or maybe you'd like to try other short scale length acoustic guitars. You'll be absolutely amazed at how much easier they are to play. I've been playing for well over 40 years and the F370 short scale is by far the easiest acoustic guitar I've ever played.

Electric strings sound bright and metallic, and that is the only sound I like. A slight loss of volume I can handle.

If they made acoustic strings in 8s I would probably use them but I haven't found any. 9s are the lightest and still heavier than I like (I play 7s on my electric). Electric strings are fine on an acoustic just be prepared for less volume. If you are plugged in and running through an amp, or using a tonewood or the like, then it is no problem to get the volume.

I’ve been playing a Strat and a Spanish acoustic for thirty five years with no problems. I recently bought a steal string acoustic which wasn’t cheap and it kills my fingers despite harder callouses having formed. I don’t think I can continue with it for much longer.

[@BoxOfBananas]

A few things that could help: • check the action; since steel-string acoustic strings tend to actually be a thicker gauge, action makes a bit more of a difference when it comes to how much it hurts to play. A guitar shop could likely adjust it for you if you think it's a little high • tune it down a couple semitones; might mean you need a capo to play along with some songs, but I've found that even just tuning to D standard makes the guitar so much easier to play in terms of how hard you have to fret And lastly, something worth trying is switching to a lower string gauge. Like I said, "standard" acoustic strings tend to be quite thick compared to electric strings (not sure about Spanish, but I believe they're lighter gauge too). Even just switching down to 11s or even 12s can help improve the pain. Hope all goes well for you!

Interesting video because I have a Taylor T5z hybrid guitar that doesn’t sound quite acoustic enough for me. And it came strung with electric nickel strings.

What if you add a Piezo to the bridge along with the electric strings?

[@bialas506]

What if you use a coil pickup on your acoustic with electric strings? Will it sound any better? I'm curious

[@salviadivinorum1762]

great question, thought it might be addressed in this video production

[@Christopher_Giustolisi]

Acoustic guitars need thicker strings? Not neccessarly. I just restringed one of my acoustics with a set of D´Addario EZ890. Thoose are bronze wound acoustic strings .009-.045. Still sounds fine. You can get very thin acoustic strings and very thick electric strings. You should´ve compared the same string gouges, just bronze vs steel wound.

My strings on my fender are stupid tight makes playing pretty hard I can BARLEY bend them (as if simulating a whammy) was hopping maybe putting on smaller gauge strings would help guess not lol

[@jackconnor6172]

Guess it's kinda late But could have nothing to do with strings, could be very easily just too high action.

Whats the song at 2:40? Sounds familiar

I thought the same thing. I think it’s Do You Feel Like We Do

Do you think heavy jazz flatwounds would work fine without much setup?
