Can Thomastik-Infeld KR116 guitar strings be used on an electric guitar? Are they magnetic?
Question:
I want to put these on my jazz guitar, but I wonder if anyone has tried them yet. What do you think?
If you're going to answer "definitely not", and then trail off with a watered down "i don't know", you're not answering my question. Thanks anyway.
Please don't use easily accessible online marketing websites as references. I have looked there already.
I am looking for people who have actually used these strings.
Answer: The answer to that would be a definite no. There's not much magnetic properties in nylon 
http://www.juststrings.com/toi-kr116.html
These are strings appears to be a sort of a hybrid between classical nylon strings and acoustic steel strings.
Even traditional acoustic steel strings don't have enough magnetic properties to "drive" a magnetic pickup. For this reason, electric guitar strings have a lot more steel in them.
