.049 There is 1 product.

A folk guitar string purchased individually with a draw of 0.49 refers to the thickness of the string. The draw of a guitar string is the tension of the string when it is tuned to a certain pitch. The higher the tension, the tighter the string and the more force it takes to press it against the guitar fingerboard.

The tension is often indicated in millimeters (e.g. 0.10 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.13 mm, etc.) or in inches (e.g. 0.008 inches, 0.010 inches, 0.011 inches, etc.). In the case of a folk guitar string with a draw of .49, it is probably a medium or heavy gauge E string.
