Can you string a regular acoustic guitar with nylon strings?

Like say a Fender Kingman with nylon strings? Yes, I am talking about the 6 strings, lol.

I dunno..... I have to tie the strings to the bridge on my classical. I'm not sure if they make nylon strings with ball ends?

you can, but the nylon strings more than likely won't have enough tension in them to drive the top and make volume like steel strings, it will sound thin and quiet

nylon string guitars have much less robust bracing on the top to allow for more free vibration of the soundboard

For you? You're a bass player! Steel string acoustic guitars should feel like little girlies toys!
