help picking acoustic guitar strings?

I bought an Ovation 1778t on Ebay. This is my first guitar.

I’m wanting to change the strings, what type should I buy? steel right (not nylon)?

Any brand/size recommendations?

That’s one cool guitar! I want a black one!

If it were me, I’d use these strings:

They are not the cheapest, but they last forever and will spoil you rotten.

Thomastik-Infeld’s JAZZ Swing Series description reads, “mellow timbre, powerful, designed especially for semi acoustic and acoustic jazz guitars.”

With these strings, you can kiss string squeak away! Easier on the fingers, too.
