Thanks for the welcome. They're regular tension, actually, and they're a brand I've not heard of before: Albert Augustine LTD - Blue. The package describes them as concert level strings. $13.95 for one set. Any repairs that need done will be done by a professional.

I put new strings on my Takamine, last night, and, while tuning it during practice, noticed my D string didn't sound at all right no matter how well I tuned it. I began closely examining the bridge, and noticed something. Bear in mind, I've never looked this closely at the bridge before, I discovered what appears to be a very narrow gap between the bridge and the body, directly under where the string tension peaks. The outside edges of the bridge are firmly attached to the body. Is this normal, or is my guitar in need of repairs?:
