A folk guitar string purchased individually with a tension of .12 is a light gauge guitar string. Guitar strings are graded according to their diameter, expressed in thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimeter. Thicker strings tend to have a louder, fuller sound but can be more difficult to play, while lighter strings tend to be easier to play and have a brighter sound but can lack sonic projection. The .12 gauge is a common choice for acoustic folk guitar strings and is often used for E and A strings, while lighter strings are often used for G and D strings.
