IME the heavier flatwound strings (and a thinner pick - I use Dunlop Nylon .60's or .67's) will go a long way in easing the transition and, given the short scale and your preferred musical styles, if the 11's don't work feel free to step up to 12's - I've been using them on my Brooklyn-original 6117 Double Annie (essentially a sunburst version of your guitar) since I bought it new in 1964...
