Hi
It is quite confusing but try watching this first and see if you get a better understanding.

some people rather have a low g setup than a high g setup.
what that means is; its just the top string "g" string is strung a 'Higher' or 'Lower'

Wikkipedia explains it very thoroughly, and precisely - far more clearly than I could.
