Can i use a .011 stainless steel fender electric string on an acoutic as a high !

Question: Well my acoustics high E broke, and i dont really want to buy a new pack of strings becuz i recently bought a pack of fender stainless steel to replace my electric guitars high e. so i was wondering if i could use the second highest string (meant for string b) from the pack of fender strings. Can you use electric strings on acoustic? and can you use B strings as e? thank you :)

yes you can , i used to run all electric strings in my acoustic because they feel so nice and are easy to bend.
the only draw back is , you dont get as much volume from them.
they are wound differently. but it will work for ya for a while.
if you get a little buzz problem, just loosen the string and put a small piece of paper under the string in the notch in the nut.

You definitely should be able to, since the three thinnest strings in a pack of guitar strings, electric and acoustic (unless the g string is wound) are made of the same material. If your b string is usually a .011 or close to that, it should be fine. Each string gauge doesn't really have an official designation, for example, I can use a .038 as an a string or an e string. I prefer using it as an a string, since I like thicker strings.
