Bronze Acoustic Guitar
steel guitar, can i use bronze strings?
hey... i don't need to change my strings, but i found a set of "Bronze acoustic guitar strings" by "pure tone"... i have a few questions on them:
can i put them on a steel string guitar? i know i can't put nylon strings on... but i don't see why i can't put bronze
they are light gauze... i have no idea what my current gauze is, but i play in Dropped D tuning... so would the E/D string (6th) be too loose?
finally, can you get strings designed to be played in Drop D?
any help is apprechiated 
woops... epic fail there... "appreciated"
Are you talking about a steel guitar or a steel string guitar. Bronze strings won't work properly on a steel/lap steel/electric guitar but hey are designed to be played on an acoustic or acoustic electric steel string guitar.
Light gauge strings are OK. However, the low E may be too thin if you tune that down to D. Another thing to consider is that the neck truss rod probably needs to be adjusted slightly if you change string gauge.
This procedure is fast and simple if you know what you're doing. You should however leave it to someone else if you don't know how it's done.
If you play all the time in drop D, I would probably use a set of medium strings or have a light set and use a heavier low E-string. Personally, I use drop D on my acoustics from time to time. I use light strings and find this to work well for me.
