Anyone tried electric guitar strings on x10?
Results?
I saw a video where they put electric guitar strings on the new Fender acoustasonic Telecaster, and it got me thinking that it might a feasible idea. |

Try it and see how it works. Worst case is a wasted set of strings and maybe a truss rod adjustment (probably not with a carbon fiber Emerald neck).
I don't even use electric strings on my electric guitar. My Taylor T5 is currently wearing GHS White Bronze acoustic lights (54-12). I don't like the lessened tension of ultra light gauge electric strings - being used to more resistance I often bend entire chords out of tune. [Yes, I do need to lighten up my death grip]. Actually most of my guitars wear medium gauge strings anyway, so I'm really headed in the other direction. |
I use Pyramid flatwounds (12-52) on my X-20. I dig the warmer sound they bring. I haven't actually had acoustic strings installed since I've had the guitar, if that helps.

My rationale is that this guitar is usually used for on stage where acoustic volume isn't really an issue. The benefit would be the ability to do some electric type shredding.
