Ernie Ball Super Slinky RPS Electric Guitar Strings for Packs of 2

From Ernie Ball, the manufacturer of the renowned Slinky electric guitar strings, comes the Slinky RPS Nickel Wound series. These strings were pioneered by our founder, Ernie Ball, more than 60 years ago, and have since become an industry standard, shaping the sound of rock 'n' roll.

The Slinky RPS Nickel Wound strings feature reinforced plain strings (RPS) for added strength and durability. The plain strings are precision-wound with nickel-plated steel wire, and the core is made from high-carbon steel hex wire, providing excellent durability.

The distinctive Slinky feel and rich, balanced tone that players around the world have come to rely on are present in this series. These strings are crafted in Southern California using the finest and freshest materials.

The reinforced plain strings (RPS) are wound with a brass wrap wire at the ball-end twist, providing greater durability and tuning stability. The nickel-plated wound strings offer a classic, balanced tone with superior intonation and consistency.

Ernie Ball Slinkys are played by legends around the world, including Jimmy Page, Metallica, Eric Clapton, Slash, and more. The RPS Slinkys feature a patented winding of brass wire tightly wrapped around the lock twist of the ball-end of the plain strings (E, B, and G), minimizing slippage and breakage at this critical point.

The wound strings (D, A, and low E) are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around tin-plated hex-shaped steel core wire, ensuring a durable and consistent tone.
