so first time re stringing my beginner Acoustic Yamaha F310 and looked on line for reviews about strings and what the diff is etc etc

Anyhow I saw good things about D'Addario EJ16-3D Phosphor Bronze Light (.012-.053) Acoustic Guitar Strings, so purchased a couple of sets.

Oh my, how awful they sound on this guitar I have tuned and re tuned these strings but they sound nothing like the original strings the bass is just not there E sounds flat in fact From low to too E every string sounds nothing like the fullness of the original

So question is, this normal, what kind of string are on this guitar? I understand the gauge higher deeper tone, but light etc etc, is a bit beyond me as a beginner it’s not something I need to know right ? What kind of string should I look at to produce a rich warm tone

Thanks to anyone who can help
