depending on the the individual gauges of the six (6) guitar strings ie: E, A, D, G, B, E, of course the guitar string that is long and loose produces the lowest pitch...
A good example of this are the strings on a mandolin or a 'banduria' which has shorter strings compared to the strings on the guitar...because the mandolin/banduria strings are shorter and tighter, it produces higher pitch...
"short and tight=higher pitch......long and loose=lower pitch"

Why are the strings in a guitar of varying thickness?
The thickness of a guitar string affects the pitch produced by it. The thicker a string is, the deeper the tone. However, the reason that the pitch becomes higher when a fret is pressed down on the string is because the metal of the fret is stopping all vibrations beyond that fret, thus making the string "shorter." You might be talking about the gauge of a string. Strings have different gauges to better fit the preferences of the guitarist. The higher the gauge, the harder it is to break that string. However, a higher gauge makes the string harder to play and may hurt the fingers of newer guitarists.

It gives a deeper and "Bassier" tonal quality. Also the strings are longer because of the lower pitch of the notes that are generally played. A pitch of a string depends not only on the length but also the tension. A loose short string doesn't sound as good as a long tighter string.
