Could I use custom light strings (.011 - .052) if I want to tune my acoustic guitar down to Drop B?

Les Paul Custom

I have an acoustic steel string guitar, and I'm about to replace its strings. I want to keep this guitar in C#/Db Standard Tuning, and perhaps I'll also use Drop B Tuning. But the only replacement strings I have at the moment are these "custom light"


No problem to use to use those. They may feel a little loose as you tune down, but it won't harm the guitar (I do take it for granted the guitar is a steel string instrument and not a nylon string/classical one).

While about as tough to fool around in E as we would suppose since a thickness, tinge was clever as well as smooth. But in A right right away it intonates perfectly, has good tension, as well as hasn’t mislaid balance during all....

Martin MSP 4050 SP Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar ...

The SP’s are bright sounding and on my guitar create a very pleasing acoustic sound with just the right balance for my ears. As a guitarist who’s had the opportunity to work at Guitar Center (back in 1999), trying each type of string on the market was a fairly inexpensive and easy task. My guitar is a Takamine F360SSMT from 1999 (the one with the laser engraved mountain rosette around the soundhole). These, for my guitar, are the best sounding strings I have been able to find. Having experimented with the same or similiar gauge strings in other brands I have settled on these.
