What are the easiest acoustic guitar strings to play and have the best sound For an Acousticelectric guitar?
Jello2
the best string size for this is 8-38 but their very quiet and break easily.
its best to just stick with light gauge 9-42 until your fingers develop strength. Think of it like weight training. My advice is to lower the action as its much easier if your strings are low to the fretboard and of course lower tunings aren't as brutal to your fingers.

Seriously though, you need to know what type of guitar you have and acoustic/electric are two type not one. I will assume you mean semi-acoustic which means you have and accoustic.
Starting from the top you can either have electric or an acoustic. if its acoustic you can have two types of strings. One being steel string and the other being nylon stings. Just make sure the guitar was made for the strings you put on as it can bend the neck of the guitar if they are the wrong ones. Classical Guitars are always nylon strings.
If you have and Electric Guitar then you need electric guitar strings.
Now the only other real variation other than gimick strings like the wax coated steel strings for accoustic guitars is what gauge your strings are. Gauge is how much tension the strings will need to form the note that you are tuning to. I would advise finding out first from a experienced person as to what gauge you should use as using the wrong one on the wrong guitar can be disasterous.
Hope this helps!
