If you are going to tune GDg use standard medium gauge strings ADg

.045 inch - 1.14 mm - A

.035 inch - 0.89 mm - D

.026 inch - 0.66 mm - g

Use bronze for acoustic. Nickel for electric pick-up

For resonator or banjo use nickel.

Usually people use bronze for acoustic and nickel for electric. Although, on banjo and resonator guitar, I prefer nickel. In regards to your question, how many strings on your CBG? How do you want to tune? Thank you for your question.

If you are using a standard scale length about 24" - 25" nut to bridge, standard strings have some tuning range. For example: I like to tune my 3 string to GDg. So, I use medium gauge strings ADg. Experimenting is usually the key, to get the proper string tension and preferred tuning so you CBG rings sounding it's best. Fretless seems to play better with a little more slack in the strings.
