An "Essential" Set for an Electric Sound That Cuts Through the Mix
The Ernie Ball Slinky RPS Nickel Wound 12 strings are designed for musicians seeking a consistent, responsive set ready to withstand intensive sessions. Manufactured according to a strict specification unique to Ernie Ball, they deliver consistent performance from set to set, with a musical output that remains clear in a band setting: well-defined lows, present mids, and a sharp attack.
The 12 gauge is particularly suited for guitarists looking for more resistance under the fingers, greater chord sustain, and excellent support for powerful rhythms, controlled bends, and stable tuning. The combination of hex core and nickel winding promotes good durability while maintaining the typical playing comfort of the Slinky family.
