Answers: like how is gauge measured and what does it mean?

a 10 gauge string is .010 inches.

The measurement is either the diameter (likely) or the circumference.

hmm...i have no idea...but now i want to find out too...to wikipedia!

or dictionary.com

I think its the thickness of the string, as the other person said, the diameter or circumference. The higher the gauge, the lower you can tune you strings (Drop C, Drop B, etc.) without worrying about something happening to you strings.

It a term used to describe the thickness and density of a string on an instrument

The thickness of the string kind of like ear gauges if you heard of that.
