I own 2 Gibsons myself (both are hollow body, archtop, electrics), you will want to do some research (like try out a few brands), but I use D'Addairo (don't check my spelling) 11's on both, you can go to a lighter gauge (like 10's). I have found a light gauge of string (like 7's or 8's) don't take advantage of the mass of the guitar. I have tried Ernie Balls and some other brands but I keep going back to the D'Addairo, they have a nice bright sound, nice feel, and hold up pretty well.

Good Luck

yeah i'm gonna throw the d'addario's on there and check them out we'll see.
