Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I would guess the wound strings are equivalent in tension to about 28/36/44, so roughly the same as a standard set of roundwound 10s.

I've said before that when I buy a guitar I experiment with gauge and brand to get what suits both me and the guitar, there is no one size fits all to me. For best part of 40 years my Aria PE1000 has been strung with 10-38s. It made it a good sound between the Fender and Gibsons that were then the benchmark and it was for a few short years my only guitar and I've grown to love it like that. I did take it to a gig in December for World Aids Day and it made me smile every time I played it, so I've used it a lot in the interveening month.
It's a bit like the 60s guitarists who bough a pack of strings and a banjo string to get 'lights' when they wern't available. Use whats best not whats obvious on the shop shelf.
However, the low e tends to slip. Not for every guitar. My maple strat felt like 9s so I’m trying the 10-48. Next attempt will be 10-42. Or maybe 11-42.
I recently tried the ghs boomers 10-38 and was disappointed by their lifelessness. I’ve bought a second pack just in case. They are the only manufacturer providing this gauge set.
