Kind of baffled me as well. I have rarely seen an acoustic with anything lighter than custom lights (.011-.052). Most that I have seen have lights (.012-.053).

Another thing to keep in mind that I rarely see anyone pay attention to is the nut when you change string gauges. The nut on any guitar is cut for a certain gauge string and going bigger or smaller without adjusting the slots in the nut is going to have undesirable effects.

I spent some time searching and the best I could find is a couple of online stores that carried the AE300 that listed the strings as Lights (.012-.053).

Baffling to me as well! 12's to 13's are the most common from my experience, with the preference going to 12's for we "sissys" who have gotten soft fingers and unaccustomed to the additional necessary grip versus electrics.
