Ernie Ball .009 RPS Titanium Coated Guitar String

Description

This .009 plain string from Ernie Ball’s Slinky RPS line swaps out ordinary construction for a patented titanium wrap at the ball-end twist, giving you a string built to resist breakage and slippage right where plain strings usually fail first.

• Core wire: Tin-plated, specially tempered high carbon steel round wire for reliable tone and durability.
• Titanium reinforcement: A titanium wrap wire wound at the ball end adds toughness and helps the string hold pitch better than a standard plain string.
• Ball end: Precision-machined from brass wire rod, cut to tight tolerances so it seats correctly in your bridge or tailpiece every time.
• Gauge: .009, ideal as a top string or replacement for players who favor a lighter feel without sacrificing stability.

If you’ve ever snapped a plain high string mid-set or watched it slip out of tune after a hard bend, the titanium reinforcement here is designed to address exactly that pain point. It’s a small change to the string’s makeup that pays off in fewer breakages and more consistent tuning, especially useful for players who bend aggressively or gig often.

Use it to round out a custom set or as a dependable spare for your .009 gauge setup.
