A 09 gauge that combines comfort, accuracy, and reliability
With the Ernie Ball Slinky RPS Nickel Wound 09, you gain stability and peace of mind, whether in rehearsal, studio, or on stage. The RPS range was designed to meet the needs of guitarists who heavily stress their strings and want to maintain solid tuning stability for longer. Thanks to the use of a patented brass wire reinforcement, these strings offer better wear resistance while retaining the feel and character of a nickel wound string: balanced attack, good definition, and versatility for rock, blues, pop, or modern metal tones. It is also an excellent option if you like to customize your instrument by assembling your own combination of gauges to achieve exactly the tension and feel you desire.
