Default Strings for a 3/4 Johnson

are there any concerns with putting strings on 3/4 bodies, anything to be aware or cautios about?

the guitar did not come with any manual or any instructions. I'm assuming that any light gauge will work fine?

Is it one of those small backpacker type guitars or more of a shrunk dreadnought like the baby taylor?If it's a backpacker use extra light's on it,if it's a baby taylor size lights should be ok.Haven't seen the Johnson website in a while but I've seen the Johnson traveler guitar on ebay alot.By the looks of it i doubt if it could handle lights for long.
EDIT:Just checked the website,sounds like you have the trailblazer deluxe.I wouldn't put mediums on it but in my experience a 3/4 guitar should be fine with lights.I would e-mail customer service to be sure or use the same gauge as the stock strings.It has a solid top so be careful with the potential top bellying with too thick a string.A laminate topped guitar can handle more tension than a solid topped guitar in some cases.
