Default Strings for a Guild

Looking at a 1990s JF 30 Maple that sounds and looks great. Any suggestions on the best strings?

Maple can be bright so I like Phosphor Bronze strings on them.
My favorite set is Martin Lifespan.

Try a set of D'Addario Nickel Bronze - I have the 12-string set on my Guild F-412.
If you want something a little warmer the John Pearse Pure Nickels are also very good - I have them on my maple H&D MJ Custom ... and thank you to Wade Hampton for recommending them.

I had a similarly aged JF-30, I really liked GHS Laurence Juber Signature strings although Gibson Masterbuilt and John Pearse phosphor bronze strings also sounded great on that guitar.
