Ernie Ball Power Slinky RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 11-48

Ernie Ball RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are crafted from nickel-plated steel wire wound around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core. The plain strings have a patented brass wire winding tightly wrapped around the ball end's lock twist, reducing slippage and breakage at the ball end. These RPS strings outlast conventional plain strings and stay in tune better. Available in gauges .011, .014, .018p, .028, .038, .048.

Using these Ernie Ball RPS guitar strings is straightforward. First, remove the old strings from your guitar. Then, thread the new strings through the bridge and tuners, making sure to match the correct gauge to each string position. Tune the strings up to pitch slowly to avoid breakage. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings down with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt, which can extend their lifespan. Also, avoid exposing the strings to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any signs of excessive wear, such as fraying or loss of tone, it's time to replace the strings.
