.038 .038

"0.38" is the gauge measurement of the folk guitar string. The gauge of a guitar string measures its thickness, usually in thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimeter.

A standard folk guitar string typically has a gauge of .012 inches, or 0.30 mm, for the high E string, up to a gauge of .053 inches, or 1.35 mm, for the low E string.

Thus, a folk guitar string with a gauge of 0.38 is a fairly thin string, usually corresponding to the high G or D string. It is important to note that the gauge of the string can have an impact on the sound and playability of the guitar, and some guitarists prefer thicker or thinner strings depending on their playing style and sound preference.
