Do you think it'd be possible with these 008 strings?** A: Hi,Are you looking to go up to just the first fret (F / a semi-tone) or up a tone to F#? Either way, you should be absolutely fine doing that.Thanks,Sam **Q: Hi, are these strings for an acoustic or electric 12 string please?** A: electric strings and really good strings they are. Being a lighter gauge their play ability is very good.They should work on an acoustic ok, depends on what tone you want. I prefer the use elect strings on my 6 string acoustic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect strings *by M***Y on 8 September 2025* This brand is brilliant. I’ve used them for years.
