Ernie Ball Regular Slinky RPS Electric Guitar Strings – 10-46 (2240)

Experience greater durability and classic tone with the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky RPS 10-46 string set (model 2240). This complete 6-string set incorporates patented Reinforced Plain Strings (RPS) technology on the plain strings (E, B, G) to reduce breakage and slippage at the ball ends, while preserving the balanced, familiar Slinky sound you rely on.

Features & Advantages

• RPS Reinforcement on Plain Strings — A brass over-wrap is tightly wound around the lock twist at the ball end of each plain string, minimizing slippage and breakage.
• Nickel Wound for Wound Strings — The wound strings (D, A, E) use nickel-plated steel for bright, balanced tone, matching classic Slinky behavior.
• Standard Slinky Gauges (10-46) — This set offers a balanced tension suitable for general playing, bending, and stable tuning.
• Precision Manufacturing — Each string is made to exact spec to ensure consistency, intonation, and reliable feel.
• Fresh, Sealed Packaging — The set is hermetically sealed to protect from moisture and preserve tone quality until use.

Benefits for You

By choosing the RPS version of a Slinky set, you get all the tone, feel, and performance of a standard Slinky set, with extra peace of mind on the plain strings. The reinforced ball ends significantly reduce one of the most common failure points — especially under aggressive playing or frequent string changes. This means fewer snapped strings, fewer mid-set repairs, and a more dependable setup overall.

Whether you’re gigging, recording, or practicing, this set gives you the consistency and reliability you expect — now with enhanced toughness where it matters most.
