I would recommend a standard set of medium gauge electric guitar strings (.013 to .056).

There are not many sets that have a .014 for electric guitar. There are two that I can think of and they are both made by Thomastik and are about $30 per set.
This is a good choice: https://www.juststrings.com/ghs-lap-e.html?cmp=nextopia&kw=ghs-lap-e
You can purchase single .014 strings separately (which would be a good idea to buy several since they get grooves on them fairly easily and should be replaced even more frequently.
