Ernie Ball RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are crafted from nickel - plated steel wire wound around a tin - plated hex - shaped steel core wire. The plain strings have a patented brass wire winding tightly wrapped around the lock twist at the ball end. This design reduces slippage and breakage at the ball end. Compared to conventional plain strings, RPS strings last longer and stay in tune better. Gauges include .008, .011, .014, .022w, .030, .038.

Using these Ernie Ball guitar strings is easy. Just string them onto your electric guitar following the normal string - changing process. Make sure to tune them up gradually to avoid sudden breakage. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings down with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will help them last longer. Also, store your guitar in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you notice any signs of wear or breakage, it's time to replace the strings.
