   DOn't know about the sizes, but the standard gauges they use for the different   
   strings in a set of Martin Marquis lights   
   seems to work well for me for a variety of styles of music,   
   with a variety of guitars over the years.  Have used them on my current   
   Martin, an old Ovation copy; an Alvarez 6, their   
   12 string set on an Alvarez 12, an old Guild and some   
   others.   
   My ex son-in-law trying to be cool got me a set of Diadeerio (spelling) for   
   Xmas one year, but think I gave them to   
   somebody else, as they're more suitable for electric imho.   
   But the Marquis lights are fairly good.  They're standard   
   gauge steel strings, but they hold up well.  THey're also   
   even enough to bend etc. so they should serve you well.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
