    I'm about to try stainless slinkys. Problem with regulars is that I use them for 2 hours and they already start to fade and get corroded really quickly!

    I'm curious as to the differences between RPS and the regular Slinkys. My Dargie II came with a set of RPS and a week later they're still feeling pretty good. But that guitar doesn't get played as often, as its in a different tuning.
