The \"Hybrid\" gauge borrows the three treble strings from the Super Slinky set and the three bass strings from the Regular Slinky set, giving you a versatile setup without having to mix and match packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the RPS version apart is Ernie Ball's patented reinforcement at the ball end. \u003cstrong\u003eRPS stands for Reinforced Plain Strings\u003c\/strong\u003e — a winding of brass wire is tightly wrapped around the lock twist of the ball end on the plain strings (E, B, and G). This is exactly where plain strings are most prone to slipping and breaking, so the extra reinforcement helps them hold tune better and last longer than standard plain strings. The wound strings (D, A, and low E) are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGauges: .009, .011, .016, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated steel wrap wire on wound strings over a tin-plated hex steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented brass RPS winding at the ball end of all plain strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimizes string slippage and breakage at the ball end where it most commonly occurs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with electric guitar (not for use on classical guitars)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ernie Ball\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid Slinky RPS Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 9-46\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e P02241\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
