Your guitar is an acoustic/electric instrument. My personal choice would be to start with whatever strings suit how you will play it the most, acoustic or electric, and adapt to whatever mode you play the least. I'm currently using D'Addrio Chromes flatwound on my acoustic/electric and enjoying them, but I often go back to straight ahead acoustic strings because I rarely play through an amplifier so that mode is kind of irrelevant. Gauge is a matter of personal choice, I favor .011's or .012's mostly, but if you are a strummer and you like the Monel .013's on another guitar that's probably what I would put on first. Have fun with your new Godin!
