I think that they are not magnetic enough to work with electric guitar pickups.

I think that they are not magnetic enough to work with electric guitar pickups.

depends upon the string composition, but that is the whole game right there.
phosphor bronze has no iron/nickel/wtf the 3rd magnetic metal is in it's alloy
nice lowgrade stainless blend or nickel -ferrous blend of some sort would work fine
I will let you figure out nylon strings yourself.
haha
goes back to that "try soldering a test piece of guitar string first, just to be safe" because they are made of all sorts of different alloys.

maybe that's what I was going for..
