I have an Ibanez AF-75 archtop. What size and type of strings should I use? 10's, 11's, etc.?

I use gibson 12`s for my Ibanez AF120 and thomastik infeld g.benson 12` series for my GB10.
I can really recommend these strings.

I love the feel of flatwounds, but use the round wound "Be-Bops" (TI) because the bass strings still will have some snap after I fluff up the EQ for the trebles to where I want it.

I use D'Addario 12's on my Gibson ES 140 I use 10's on my Peavey solid body and on my main axe currently an Epiphone, I use 11's all D'Addario Chromes or flatwounds.

Hi, I've found Tomastic-Infield flat 13s a nice option for the Ibanez AG85. I did replace the awful Ibanez bridge with a rosewood one and its been very nice.
