Description
The RPS design tackles one of the most common weak points on an electric guitar set: the plain string ball end. Ernie Ball wraps a patented brass winding tightly around the lock twist at the ball end, reinforcing the connection so it resists slippage and breakage far better than a standard plain string. The payoff is a set that holds tuning stability longer and simply lasts through more playing sessions before you need a change.
Construction on the wound strings follows Ernie Ball’s familiar nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated, hex-shaped steel core—a combination chosen for consistent tension feel and reliable tone across the set. Paired with the reinforced plain strings, you get a full set engineered for durability from the ball end all the way through the winding.
This Super Slinky RPS set comes in the popular 9-gauge configuration, favored by players who want an easy, fast feel under the fingers without sacrificing tone or tuning reliability.
