this is like asking if a good set of wheels will improve a cheap car. a good set of strings will probably make it sound a little better, but no matter how much you polish a turd, it's still shit at the end of the day.
but like what many other posters have said, it really depends. i've had good experiences with the Helicore strings in the past and they are relatively cheap compared to many other popular string combinations.
I have this set. They sound pretty good for 120$

Pretty standard strings. Must be the angle or something.
