A folk guitar string purchased individually with a tension of 0.8 is a string with a tension (or "draw") of 0.8 pounds (lb) or about 0.36 kilograms (kg).

The tension of a guitar string is determined by the force exerted on the string when it is tuned to a specific note. Thicker strings have a higher tension and produce lower tones, while thinner strings have a lower tension and produce higher tones.

Folk guitar strings are generally available in a range of tensions from 0.10 lbs (about 0.045 kg) to 0.13 lbs (about 0.059 kg) for the thinnest strings (treble) and from 0.22 lbs (about 0.1 kg) to 0.60 lbs (about 0.27 kg) for the thickest strings (bass). Thus, a folk guitar string purchased individually with a tension of 0.8 lb is relatively thin and will produce a relatively high tone compared to thicker strings.
