Either 9's or 10's, I prefer using the Ernie Ball Hybrid set, with 9 guage top strings, and 10 guage bottom's.
9, 11, 16 26w, 36w, 46w
When changing strings and you're not sure about the guage that's on, always make sure you check your intonation.

Just finished measuring the strings on an MIJ Love Rock, brand new.
.010, .012, .017, .025, .034, .046
Measured with digital vernier calipers, so I think that it is fairly accurate.
As far as intonation is concerned, thats a whole 'nother can of worms. I use a Peterson strobe and compare the open note to the fretted 12th note.
Some use the fretted 3rd and fretted 15th, for example. Some use the harmonic 12th.
I always redo the intonation with a string change. Funny thing is, if I recheck them later, say 2 ~ 3 weeks, they sometimes need a tweek to bring it back to perfect.
I think the stretching of the string must somehow affect the intonation. It is only slight, but it is measurable. It's close enough so that my ear can't pick it though.
You can drive yourself crazy trying to get things perfect sometimes.
Hope that this helps.

Thanks a lot! LBUK and stratmoto 
I had a caliper but I couldn't find it.
.010, .012, .017, .025, .034, .046 -> A pity because this set is not common, I won't be able of finding the same set in my country. I'll have to deal with the intonation. D'addario's xl110 are
.010 .013 .017 .026w .036w .046w
You're right!

Ganz?a, the Daddarios work very well don?t worry,just place them,a little soft to me but fine.Just be carefull with Gibson Humbuckers I had some trouble with 3rd gaugge(and they are not good strings to me,get Gibbo Vintage instead if you foind any set).
