Guitar strings (or wires of some kind) are apparently the traditional method of obtaining the 'snare' sound. As far as i was able to determine, the only consequence was that it didn't sound as good :-). It may just be a matter of taste/tradition (perhaps in part because wires are easier to come by than snares, given the instrument's supposed humble origins). As described, i ended up with snare-drum snares, and all of the "modern" cajons that i've liked do the same. Maybe some day i'll play a fancy pro cajon with guitar strings and i'll finally get it, but for now i'm sticking with "real" snares.
