I am presuming your instrument is a flat-top with fixed bridge and six notched holes with pegs for string retention at the bridge end. Most instruments of this type have their string nuts notched for a set with .012 or .013 1st string (E4 open), but some use .011. I have had excellent experience with D'Addario guitar and bass strings, which are available in 80/20 phosphor bronze, nickel, or stainless steel roundwound sets; the latter two are popular with guitarists using the Gibson ES or Gretsch 6100-series archtops with magnetic pickups and have a brighter acoustic tone than the bronze. Your instrument may be better-tuned for Elixirs, GHS, or Ernie Ball Earthwoods as a result of construction details, however; I wouldn't know for certain without a firsthand look at your particular instrument.
The .012 and .013 sets use a wound 3rd string (G3 open), also the case with certain .011 sets.

Any with bronze phosphorus coating will sound good. Go with a light Gage, wrapped 3rd string. Easier on fingers plus has an airy sound. Most stores sell two-for-one packages. I really like the Earthwoods I've tried. Good luck.

D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Strings are very good. Get the .010 or .011 light gauge strings.

DiAdiarios are good. I used to use them. Now I only use Martin strings and I recommend to my students.
