A Reinforced String for Playing Louder, Longer

The Ernie Ball Slinky RPS Nickel Wound 18 strings are designed for guitarists tired of seeing their strings break at the ball end. Thanks to their brass overwrap (RPS technology), the wound strings gain mechanical strength and maintain tuning stability better, even under heavy playing. The choice of gauges and nickel winding aims for a convincing musical balance: rich harmonics, a clear tone, and a consistent output, all while preserving the famous Slinky feel appreciated for its playability.
