What's the difference if you put electric guitar strings on an acoustic guitar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

electric strings are generally too light a gauge to properly "drive" the guitar. You need a heavy gauge string to provide the force needed from the vibrations to get the proper action out of the top to produce good volume and resonance.it just wont sound as good

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but aren't electric guitar strings softer and easier to use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are they wont produce the correct sound though

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
