Wire gauge is just the thickness of the wire

Acoustic meter-Acoustic guitar strings are usually grouped between 010 -.013. The most common gauge is considered the lightweight or .012 gauge.

It is usually measured in units of thousandths of an inch. Generally, a group of strings will be named after the thickness of the first or thinnest string in the group.

Anything lighter than 012 is considered a custom light or super light. Usually, the heaviest acoustic guitar string you will see will be the medium or 013 gauge.
