Phosphor-bronze strings will not work well on an electric guitar, as they have very weak (if at all...) magnetic properties required for a normal, magnetic pick-up. You can try 'em, but the result will probably disappoint.
I was rather intrigued, though, by the instigation for this. A change from the [i]look [/i]of standard strings..? :huh: Someone actually [i]looks [/i]at these things..? i could only recommend Humbrol enamel paint, but let it dry first. At least there's a whole range of colours. :mellow:

Looking for a change from the chrome/nickel look. Feel free to take the mick if the thread title's totally accurate :(

Well there is the optima gold plated strings. And then there the black tapewounds or clear ones. Also there are the neon coated rounds.
