Ernie Ball .014 RPS REINFORCED PLAIN ELECTRIC GUITAR STRINGS

A Solution Designed for Guitarists Who Play Hard

Most strings eventually break at the ball end, especially when performing palm mutes, bends, and strong attacks in succession. The Ernie Ball Slinky RPS wound strings were designed to address this weak point: the brass overwrapping reinforces the string's end, improves its mechanical durability, and contributes to better tuning consistency.

A Balance Between Durability, Musicality, and Feel

With their Nickel Wound construction and a 14 gauge, these strings aim for an effective compromise: a solid response under the fingers, a strong presence in the mix, and well-distributed harmonics, all while retaining the "Slinky" playing feel appreciated both on stage and in the studio. Ideal for guitarists seeking a reliable, stable, and expressive string for everyday use.
