I have put electric strings on an acoustic guitar before. It was mostly an economical decision back in the day...."hey, i have a set of electric strings right here, let me try that"

It worked but did not really do a good job. It gave you a little more flexibility since the strings were easily bended, and a bit easier to do solos on an acoustic. But the overall affect left me saying "this is why they make acoustic guitar strings for acoustic guitars". It affects your strumming, picking, and it affects the sound. It gives the acoustic a very thin outlook, and it goes out of tune very easily. The acoustic pick up will just amplify that mess.

Not recommended...unless you are learning the guitar and find the electric strings easier to press.
