Congrats on the Ax...

The standard strings on it should be:
Fender Super 250L, Nickel Plated Steel,
Gauges: (.009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042),
p/n 073-0250-003

Click for specs

If you go to a different gauge you should check and adjust the action and intonation. Action will most likely be higher and the intonation will likely be out a bit. The larger strings will sit higher in the nut. You will also loose some of the twang you get from a teley, making it a little bassier.
