Ernie Ball RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings – Super Slinky

Ernie Ball RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are made from nickel plated steel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire. The plain strings feature a patented winding of brass wire that is tightly wrapped around the lock twist of the ball end string to minimize slippage and breakage at the ball end.
