Martin Steel String

can you put any steel strings on a steel string guitar?

i have an epiphone acoustic steel string guitar i would like to change the strings soon can i change them for any i asked in a shop and the guy said that i can’t put any on because it will damage the neck then i asked in another shop and they said that i can put any type of steel on i want.

their are acoustic and electric strings you can use any ones you want but to get the best sound out of your instrument you want the right type, but you can use any brand you want.I like to keep my stings in a set for good sound quality.
