    Question RPS 10'S or Coated 10's ?

    hi guys,

    for the majority of my years playing the guitar, ive always used super slinkys.
    im thinking of trying either of the above. i dont know anything about about them, is one better than the other or is it all down to preference ?

    im going to be putting them on my new second hand jp6. rps 10's are factory fitted on jp6's arent they so would that be the way to go ?

    thanks in adavnce

    Hello Firks,

    I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9s for more years than I can recall...15 or more? Then, one day, I switched to Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10s.

    It took a short period of getting used to them, but I have never looked back. The tone is way, way better.

    9s feel like a child's toy guitar strings to me now...

    And, I have used the coated strings, too. I loved the smooth, gliding feeling on them....BUT, I lost much of my ability to pinch harmonics. Not a good trade-off for me. I gotta have my squeals!!!
