Standard issue on modern electrics is roundwound 10's with a plain G - FYI you might find the latter more than a little "sproingy" in both feel and tone compared to your acoustics' roundwound G, so if you'd like to keep a lightweight "electric" feel with a more familiar response these should be right up your alley:



FWIW the first thing I do whenever I get a new guitar is to change the strings - IME unless you're buying a high-end guitar the OEM strings generally aren't the best quality, and a fresh new set will give you a better idea of your guitar's true tonal potential...
