Ernie Ball RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are crafted from nickel - plated steel wire wrapped around a tin - plated hex - shaped steel core wire. The plain strings have a unique patented brass wire winding. It's tightly wound around the lock twist of the ball end string, greatly reducing slippage and breakage at the ball end. Compared to regular plain strings, RPS strings have a longer lifespan and stay in tune much better. The set includes gauges .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, and .042.
Using these Ernie Ball RPS guitar strings is easy. First, remove the old strings from your guitar. Then, thread the new strings through the bridge and the tuning pegs. Tune each string to the desired pitch. When tuning, turn the pegs slowly to avoid over - tightening and breaking the strings. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat. This will help them last longer. Also, store your guitar in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing the strings to extreme temperatures and humidity as it can affect their performance and lifespan. If you notice any signs of wear, like fraying or loss of tone, it's time to replace the strings.
