I am seeking a Professional Opinion on the use of electric guitar strings on an accoustic guitar. If you can provide an answer for me, please provide your qualifications. Thank you in advance!
Can you definitively answer to the following: IS it HARMFUL to use a set of light gauge electric strings on an accoustic guitar? The reason I want to use them is for playability, in particular having an unwound G string. Obviously when switching gauges of strings (especially a lighter gauge) a truss rod adjustment may be necessary. I am not interested in the tone, I simply want to know if a set of electric strings WILL DAMAGE the neck of the Accoustic Guitar? This is very important to us and I really would like an answer that I can provide to support my feeling that no damage will occur.
Thank you very much for your prompt response!
Shawn
