Pwede, pero it will not sound good. Electric Guitar Strings are tinny, walang body if you would attach it to an acoustic. 80/20 bronze strings parin.

pag acoustic bro, I always go for 11s pataas. mas loud and bassy ang thicker strings.

You can start with Rotosound Golds. mga 250-300 per pack IIRC.

pero my advice is to string your guitar with DADDARIO EXPs or ELIXIR POLYWEBS. both 11's pataas. much better kung 12's :D

GTX 0.10s on my electric just because I don't really gig and I just practice. Ernie Ball or D'Addario 0.10s when actually performing or recording at home.

GTX 0.10s on my acoustic because I have horrible overtone issues. Acoustic strings don't sound any better, and no use in stringing it with more expensive acoustic or electric strings.

10s EB for 5yrs tpos nag 11s for 1yr. tpos 12s ernie ball. for 2yrs tpos napagastos ako pa refret strat ko.
bumaba ako ng 11s. steady for 3yrs. pinaretire ko na strat ko. nag telecaster ako. wont sound good sa 11s. nagka rheumatic arthritis ako (hormones+genes problem, hindi old age haha) so steady na ako sa 10s. happy and enjoying. Cobalt Strings from ernieball

I've tried a couple of strings in my years of playing (Slinkys, Prosteels, Cobalts, Neons, etc) but I always come back to these for my acoustic and electrics...

D'Addario EJ26 for my acoustic; and Ernie Ball RPS10 for my electric. Been using these for at least 3 years now. Paminsan-minsan ay gumagamit ng Nickel wound for me electric guitars, laluna pag nauubusan ng stock ng RPS10s ang suking tindahan.  :-D

These......I was an Elixir user, the longevity of Elixirs are phenomenal, but the sustain is "so so", but these Pyramid strings are different, mismo yung tone, sustain is damn good1 I just wish they're durable.
