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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball 12-String Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 8-40 Gauge (P02230) - Ernie Ball Earthwood 12-String Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, 9-46 Gauge (P02153) - Ernie Ball 12-String Light Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 9-46 Gauge (P02233) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/50794781-slinky-12-string-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings-8-40](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/50794781-slinky-12-string-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings-8-40) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
