An RPS Set Designed to Last and Stay in Tune

The Ernie Ball 2241 Hybrid RPS Slinky 9-46 strings are aimed at electric guitarists who want a responsive, precise, and reliable set without sacrificing comfort. Thanks to a patented manufacturing process using a brass wire and reinforced design, these strings offer improved tuning stability and a longer lifespan than traditional sets, while highlighting a bright sound and musical harmonics.

For Non-Locking Tremolo or Fixed Bridge: Stability Guaranteed

The RPS reinforcement at the ball end (bronze winding) provides a real advantage if you play on a guitar with a non-locking tremolo or a fixed bridge. The result: a solid feel, less breakage at the critical point, and tuning that holds better when playing intensely (heavy attacks, tremolo dives, dynamic variations).
